Abstract

Recognizing that while medical students are learning to care for others, they are often taking poor care of themselves, librarians at the George Washington University's Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library developed a three-pronged Healthy Living initiative, launched in the fall 2012 semester. Focusing on diet/nutrition, exercise, and stress reduction, the initiative included new collections and multiple activities with partners from both on and off-campus.
