Health Desk

CHC Health Hub Initiative: Striving to deliver comprehensive, up-to-date, and relevant health resources to patrons of Northwestern and Chicagoland local libraries.

The Health Hub Initiative, launched in October of 2015, was created in collaboration with local health providers and community leaders from the Evanston and Skokie Public Libraries, Evanston and Skokie Health Departments, Erie Family Health Center and Northwestern faculty. The Initiative operates a Health Information Desk located in Evanston Library run by trained undergraduate students. It offers culturally competent and holistic health information and resources to library patrons, including content regarding mental wellness, violence prevention, insurance application, amongst other topics.

Over the last, 7 months, HIRCULES has connected with over 145 individuals.
