Needing Consumer Health Information?

Finding quality consumer health information can be tricky.  There are terrific resources out there like WebMD, but there are at least twenty not-so reputable sites for every one of those.  Let us introduce you to the latest database being offered through the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library, Consumer Health Complete!

This easy to use database has a bit of everything.  Fact sheets on different diseases and procedures, alternative health resources, drug and herb information, and more!  Here's some more of the great information provided:

  •  Browse resources like the AMA Complete Medical Encyclopedia and Mayo Clinic Family Health Book
  • Full-text articles from popular and scholarly health publications
  • Images and diagrams to better understand the human body and medical procedures
  • Evidence-based reports on diseases and treatments

Simply go to the library's website, click on Research Help, and scroll down to the Health heading to find Consumer Health Complete.  You will need to enter either your library card number or zip code when prompted.
