The Health Sciences Library is pleased to announce the immediate release of the MyHealth Toolkit; a collection of selected health information resources for consumers. You will find the MyHealth Toolkit in the main navigation bar of HealthLinks (View image).
This new toolkit is a source of information for members of the public, in addition to the entire campus community, with regards to their own health issues.
While there is no substitute for discussing a medical concern with a health care provider, MyHealth is intended to be a starting place for locating health information and aims to make finding quality health information more accessible and to enable consumers to make more informed health care decisions.
With the release of the MyHealth Toolkit the Instructor Toolkit has been removed from the main navigation bar of HealthLinks. Don't worry -- you can still access the Instructor Toolkit by searching for instructor using the HealthLinks search box.
If you have any feedback about this change or about HealthLinks in general, don't hesitate to contact us.
