Monongahela Valley Hospital's Online Health Library Is a Great Community Resource

You wake up to find an itchy rash on your arms. First, you call your doctor to schedule an appointment to have the blotches examined. Then, you go to your computer to learn if you should be scratching the irritated areas until you have your physician’s diagnosis. But, there are so many websites available, which can you trust? Go to the neighbor that you can count on. Monongahela Valley Hospital’s new online health library, monvalleyhospital.com/healthlibrary, is a reliable resource that provides more than 10,000 topics, 3,600 articles, 2,000 color illustrations and 180 videos to answer common medical questions related to:

Diseases and conditions

In addition, an animation player displays more than 140 animations organized by body system and medical specialty. MVH’s online medical library can be used to enhance explanations from physicians and the hospital because if offers sound, evidence-based information that is current with the latest accepted medical standards.

“Our new health library is a great tool for the community because it offers much more functionality,” said Susan Campus, RN, health educator at Monongahela Valley Hospital. “Not only can visitors check their symptoms, but they can learn about lab tests that physicians may have ordered for them, read about drug interactions and access the same discharge instructions they receive before they leave Monongahela Valley Hospital.”
