Finding Easy-to-Understand Health Information

Finding accurate and easy to understand information is important and sometimes hard to find with all the information that’s available on the internet.

We make it easy for you to find health information. We have a guide that links to both local and and nationwide resources. They help with finding healthcare providers in the mid-Missouri area to helping you understand various health topics in a way that makes sense.

Highlights from the guide include:

  • Understanding healthcare coverage
  • Health information in different languages
  • LGBTQ+ healthcare
  • Genetics

You can find more topics at libraryguides.missouri.edu/FindingHealthInformation

While we do not provide medical advice, we love to help you find information during your healthcare journey. We believe in the right of the patient to become educated and informed about their health.

Need more help? You can make an appointment with a librarian who can sit down with you to help find the best information for you. Whether you are at Mizzou or live in Mid-Missouri, we are here to help.

Health Sciences Library Book Display: Crime Fiction

Did you know reading crime fiction can be beneficial? The strong narrative becomes a distraction allowing patients to relate to events from a distance, with power and control over the situation. Check out Natasha Cooper’s story about a new mom whose obstetrician is murdered. Read about an ex-military sniper who becomes enthralled in the Kennedy shooting and unravels a huge conspiracy.

Visit the second floor of the Health Sciences Library to learn more about the health benefits of crime fiction or pick a Halloween read!
