About New Haven Health

MISSION
New Haven Health is a publicly accessible Web site that provides information on the past and present health of the greater New Haven community. The Web site has three goals:

1. To be a repository of numerical data, electronic documents, and photographs.
2. To provide a guide to information resources available at local libraries, archives, agencies, service organizations, and on the Web.
3. To create a means of communication between participants in local public health research.

AUDIENCE
New Haven Health is intended for faculty, researchers, students, administrators, health officials, community organizations, and everyone interested in the public health of the greater New Haven area.

SUPPORT
New Haven Health was funded by a grant from the National Library of Medicine. Information on the Web site has been provided by numerous sources, including the Epidemiology and Public Health Library, the New Haven Department of Health, the Connecticut Department of Public Health, the Greater New Haven Partnership for a Healthy Community, the Yale University Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, the New Haven Public Library, and the New Haven Colony Historical Society. If you have suggestions, or know of content or links which should be added, please contact us.
