About
Mission: To help individuals and families
in the Blue Hill region understand and take care of their health, link
up with community resources, and make use of regional, state and
national information and programs. The web site development group
includes representatives from the community, the library, Healthy
Peninsula, the medical profession, and the Center for Health Policy,
Planning and Research University of New England.
Vision: We envision this site as being a place where
anyone in the community with health concerns can go for information or
local contacts. People without computer skills or access will be
able to get help and access at the library. Although the web site
focuses on chronic illnesses, we are including broader information and
links about health, including - health maintenance, exercise,
nutrition, home care, mental health, substance abuse, hospice care,
getting help in managing care for a loved one, finances, local health
related groups and providers (including complimentary health
practitioners), and local events.
