Health Compass

Website: Website
 
Services:  Health Compass is a how-to program that is designed to help consumers look for, and better understand health information. Health Compass helps you find health information on the Internet, and evaluate how reliable any health information, product claims, and current research findings are. Health Compass will also help you act on the information that you find. Health Compass has been developed by the American Federation for Aging Research and the Merck Institute of Aging & Health, two non-profit organizations dedicated to quality health care and medical and scientific research for older adults.

Healthy Community Coalition

Founded in 1989, Healthy Community Coalition (HCC) is an affiliate of the Franklin Community Health Network with a mission of promoting health and well-being in Franklin County and neighboring towns, including Livermore Falls.

The Franklin Resource Network

The mission of the Franklin Resource Network is to maximize resources in our community, enabling elders, people with disabilities, caregivers, and all residents to easily find information about, and gain access to, services and opportunities to contribute their gifts and talents.

This project is funded, in part, by an Aging and Disability Resource Center grant from the federal Administration on Aging and Center for Medicare and Medicaid services.
