Abstract
AHEC librarians are forming traditional and nontraditional partners to deliver consumer health information. Through alliances with public libraries, public health departments, and hospitals/clinics in 15 rural and four urban counties, training to locate quality consumer health information was provided to patrons, clients, and patients. This article will explain how funding was obtained, secrets to the programs' successes, and the barriers encountered. These successful programs are delivering consumer health information that will provide tools to improve the health status in the AHEC communities.
