About the Learning Centers
Effective communication between the patients and the healthcare providers is one factor that is crucial in achieving optimal health. Harvard Medical School's hospitals are dedicated to serve the need of our patients and families for support and information while receiving care at our hospital.
These “learning centers” in the hospitals are equipped with published materials, periodicals, videos, and other multimedia-educational tools to help patients and their families take an active role in understanding a condition and its treatment options.
A Learning Center can offer much more than just knowledge tailored to different age groups and languages. It provides information on support groups, outside resources, and other services that are unique to that Learning Center.
