Your Librarian
Stanford Health Library
Sponsored by Stanford Hospitals & Clinics, the Stanford Health Library provides scientifically-based medical information to help people make informed decisions about their health and health care. They are focused on patient and consumer health services and are a great resource for materials for patients and caregivers. There are three branch locations (http://healthlibrary.stanford.edu/about/locations-hours.html) across the Bay Area with the main branch currently in the Hoover Pavilion on Quarry Road until it moves into the new hospital at 500 Pasteur Drive next year.
