Patient and Family Library (PFL)

The Patient and Family Library is a service for patients, their families and other community members, providing reliable health information as well as information about community programs and services.

Clinicians can refer patients to the centre, where they can browse through material and consult with the on-site Information Specialist if they need more information.

Our Services

• Books and videos that you can borrow
• Free pamphlets on a variety of different health topics
• Information about community resources

The centre reflects the languages spoken at TWH, offering materials in Chinese, Portuguese, French, Italian and Spanish.

Keeping in touch with the community, the HIRC Community Health Educator develops collaborative partnerships and linkages between TWH and community partners to promote health and ensure equitable access to health services.

Why is health information important?

With reliable information, you can:

• Make better decisions about your health
• Make better use of health care services
