Go Local Nebraska links Medline Plus users to health service providers and organizations in the state of Nebraska.

Subject Coverage:
A broad range of health services in Nebraska are represented with emphasis on clinics, hospitals, health departments, public health services, nursing home facilities, mental health centers, libraries, emergency medical services, home health care services, and support groups. Many of these health service organizations and providers will lack websites. Therefore Go Local Nebraska will not restrict selection to only those sources having a web presence, but will provide addresses and contact information for sources meeting the Go Local Nebraska selection criteria.

Letters Sent Out

The GoLocal team has been busy mailing out letters including brochures and baseball cards to all the hospitals and clinics listed in the GoLocal Nebraska database. Would you believe that is over 2000 letters? Each letter includes the contents of the individual records currently posted and blank spaces for missing data such as email addresses or websites. Many of the sites have responded via email or phone calls with updated information. The mailing will not only allow us to update information, but also promote the project to those who may not be aware of the valuable resource "GoLocal Nebraska".
