Health Information Online Classes
Computer Classes and Training
Heritage Public Library is conducting basic computer classes as part of our Community Health and Outreach Training award because we know many people in our community need help with computer literacy skills. Members of our community will have more personal agency to control the flow of their own health information by learning about things like Microsoft Office Suite, basic email, online forms and so on. For example, community members need email to access their online medical portals and can use Excel to keep track of their medications.
