| dc.description.abstract | The Spanish Peaks Library in conjunction with the Las Animas-Huerfano Counties District Health Department (LAHCDHD) will implement a health & wellness initiative program for the citizens of Huerfano County. This program will include a health station at the library, which will help citizens of Huerfano County, facilitate access to healthcare related issues. With this access, our community can become better educated about their own health and well being. The use of media will be implemented by including healthcare books, magazines, educational videos, and posters. These materials will be available for use, and a new topic will be displayed monthly. Through these materials being available for public use, the community of Huerfano County will be empowered to take charge of their health and to be more attentive at healthcare visits and ask questions. Most importantly, it will enable the population to have a better understanding of their individual disease processes and treatment, so they can live a longer, healthier life and contribute to this community. | en_US |
