Information Matters
Facts and information matter. Expertise matters. High quality institutions, organizations, and governments matter. This guide is meant to provide our community with access to reliable, helpful, and high quality sources of information. We link to vetted sources that can be trusted to provide accurate information regarding the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). We will continue to add additional resources in the coming days. Special thanks to Jefferson College's Nursing Department for review assistance.
"Health literacy refers to how well a person can find and understand the health information and services that they need. It is also about using the information and services to make good health decisions." Check out The National Library of Medicine's Medline Plus Resources about Health Literacy.
