Milford Regional Medical Center Donates Hand Sanitizers to Library

Milford Regional Medical Center recently donated six Purell Hand Sanitizers to the Milford Town Library. The wall-mounted dispensers are located throughout the library including the children’s program room and lower level meeting rooms.

With over 500 visitors to the library daily, the sanitizers will help reduce the spread of germs that contribute to flu and other infectious diseases.

The hospital and the library have long been partners in health and wellness education through their joint venture, the Greater Milford Area Health Resource Center established in 1994.

Health Resource Center materials, including wallet-sized medication cards, the Physician’s Desk Reference, The Family Health Encyclopedia, the multi volume Diseases and Disorders Encyclopedia, and the Merck Manual and additional print resources, are located near the library’s Information Desk.

The Health Resource Center can be accessed online also via the library’s website, www.milfordtownlibrary.org/chic.html. The Health Information page includes a printable version of the medication card and links to useful sites including the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine’s Physician Profiles. Physician Profiles enables patrons to find out about a doctor’s education, training, awards, publications, specialties, and malpractice data.

The generosity of community partners in learning helps the Milford Town Library provide better service to patrons.   In addition to the Milford Regional Medical Center, other fruitful relationships the library has developed in the community include the Milford Senior Center, Youth Center, Rotary Club and the AARP.
