Congratulations to Susan Cleveland, MLS, Library Director at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, NJ, who won an NN/LM Middle Atlantic Region technology improvement award for kiosks that will be in the ER, the third floor waiting room and the library. They’ll provide consumer health information in English and Spanish at the start, with expansion to other languages as requests increase. Sue is assembling the kiosks herself, sourcing components and cabinets and using patient education materials from several vendors as well as the NIH/NLM site.

The NN/LM offers tech awards up to $7,500 for the purchase, installation, and/or upgrading of information technologies that enhance access to health information. A list of recent awardees is at the MARquee.  All MAR members are eligible to apply for these awards. The call for the next round of funding will be late Summer or early Fall.

If you are a member of AHIP but are not located in Pennsylvania, I’d like to hear from you. I believe there may be a few of you who are not listed on our chapter’s AHIP roster. If you are a member of the Philadelphia Regional chapter of MLA but are located in New Jersey, Delaware, or another state outside Pennsylvania, please drop me a line indicating your full name and your level of membership (distinguished, provisional, member, or senior member).

Please respond to rachel.r.resnick@gmail.com and copy eyd1@psu.edu on your message. Thanks.
