2017 has officially been designated Year of Public Health at ISMMS Libraries!
What does this mean?
The purpose of having an annual theme is to develop an annual focus that allows us to develop a deeper understanding of the goals, objectives, and activities of a specific Mount Sinai department and to in turn consider how our services, resources, and expertise can best align to support said department.
We’re kicking off Year of Public Health with a series of information sharing meetings with leaders in public health divisions at Mount Sinai Health System. In these meetings, we hope to learn more the information, collections, research, and education needs of those who work in public health.
Additionally, we aim to develop original programming throughout the year that will apply the theme of public health, starting with a Mindful Medicine seminar which will address how the ramifications of psychological and physical trauma have created a major public health issue.
