Celebrating our 17
th
year, HealthLink is a visible
sign of Littauer's commitment to the community.
Since opening in March 1989, HealthLink has
served over 118,000 people with over 4,500 free
or low cost programs. Featured topics are chosen
from community interests and needs, taking into
account the most prevalent public health concerns.
Program highlights include an accessible resource
center with on-site health professionals, published
monthly calendar of events, senior membership
program, and special events such as an annual
woman's conference and community health fair.
Other highlights include monthly health screenings,
work-site wellness, school based programs, and
speaker requests for specific health related topics.
HealthLink is vital in
·
increasing community awareness of the benefits
of wellness
·
providing free or low cost resources for those
wishing to make positive, healthy lifestyle
changes, and
·
providing a link to other Hospital and
community services.
In addition to regular community programming,
HealthLink has become a key partner in numerous
community coalitions. These partnerships,
many grant funded, have allowed us to reach out
more into the community providing an increased
level of service. Here are some examples of
partnering initiatives:
