Lake Health | Press Releases

Concord Township, April 20, 2010 - Lake Health wants you to be an informed partner in your own care, working collaboratively with your health care professionals.  Accurate, reliable information is vital for making good health care choices.  The Carol DeJoy Lake Health Community Resource Center at TriPoint Medical Center is now open to the community and provides access to authoritative, current medical and health information.  The resource center provides a productive and quiet place to research disease information; it’s also a place for waiting family members to e-mail updates on other family members, conduct business, or simply relax and read a newspaper.

"Lake Health has long possessed a superior medical library. Some of the medical searches I have conducted through the library have absolutely changed the way I delivered care to patients," said Jaye Benjamin, MD, Chairman of the Library for Lake Health.  "It's a valuable resource that the community can tap into to help them make informed health care choices they are comfortable with."
