Health Information the Easy Way

Health Information the Easy Way: From the GovBookTalk Blog: 
Guest blogger Nancy Faget lets us know about a great resource delaing with women’s health.

"I’m a lazy reader. Yes, I am primarily a scanner more than a reader. (I hope this doesn’t put me in danger of losing my status as a librarian!) I appreciate a lot of white space and concise writing, which is exactly what the HHS Office of Women’s Health (OWH) has achieved in this new publication: A Lifetime of Good Health: Your Guide to Staying Healthy.

This publication provides reminders, highlights, and checklists for any female at any stage of life (immunizations through Medicare services). The checklists beginning on page 6 are great tools to help you keep up with tests and immunizations. Did you know, for example, that they recommend a TDP vaccine every 10 years?



OWH has produced a slick new publication hitting all the high points. It’s worth having available in any family’s stash of medical reference material. You’ll find it to be a great handy reference and an easy read – I promise! To read (or scan!) A Lifetime of Good Health, or for more great information on any health issue, contact your local Federal depository library for assistance.
