Health and Wellness Information Station
The primary goal of this project is to assist in the delivery of improved and discrete health information
to the residents of Martha’s Vineyard.
The project will provide funding to purchase a computer station with printing availability for patrons
needing discrete medical information. This station will be located primarily in the West Tisbury
Library Health and Wellness section of the Library for patrons to use with discretion. The computer
will be programmed to provide information from vetted medical databases on such topical health issues
as substance use, sexual assault, mental illness, dementia, nutrition, diet and exercise, Parkinson’s and
tick-borne disease. The project will provide additional funding for purchase of materials related to
health and wellness, including reference manuals and take home kits for patrons.
