Ore. - The doctors deliver the diagnosis and sometimes it's not favorable.
Unexpected results bring many concerns.
The doctors do their best to answer the barrage of questions from concerned patients and families but often more questions arise. In order to accommodate patients and their families, Oregon Health Sciences University opened the Health Information Library on the main floor of OHSU hospital. In the library, patients are able to get simple and straightforward information they need to properly understand their health issues and possible medical alternatives or solutions. To this end we have succeeded and are excited to offer this consumer health library for patients and their families. The patient-friendly HIL offers a wide array of consumer health resources including books, newsletters, brochures, Internet health information, videos, research assistance and access to computers.
