ANNE AND LOUIS PRITZKER WELLNESS LIBRARY
The Anne and Louis Pritzker Wellness Library, located on the 1st floor of the Apotex
Centre, Jewish Home for the Aged, is an innovative health literacy and information
hub. Our goal is to provide a space where clients, residents, families, caregivers, staff
and the general public have access to reliable health information to be able to facilitate
client-centered education, participate in their own care, or manage a condition or
disease for better health. Visitors to the Wellness Library will find a large selection
of health information (free brochures, fact sheets and books for loan) developed
specifically for clients, residents, families caregivers and community members; access
to electronic health resources using up-to-date accessibility features; and custom
services such as personalized health information searches. The Library also hosts
community education sessions at which Baycrest professionals provide information on
a variety of health and wellness topics.
