When Opportunity Knocks: Expanding Library Services to a New Children's Hospital

摘要

The Medical Library at Lee Health, formerly Lee Memorial Health System, serves clinicians and administration of the largest health system in South West Florida through its four branches. One full-time medical librarian and one full-time Library Services Associate, together with a staff of 25-35 volunteers, whose number varies depending on seasons of the year, operate the four branches. The Children's Hospital was officially recognized as a comprehensive children's hospital in 1994. It was a hospital-within-a-hospital inside HealthPark Medical Center (HPMC) until 2017, when the newly built Golisano Children's Hospital of South West Florida (GCHSWF) opened.
