About meThe Women's Health Care Centre, a service of Peterborough Regional Health Centre, is located in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. We provide quality health care services for women in Peterborough, Haliburton, and Northumberland Counties, and City of Kawartha Lakes. The Centre is dedicated to the wellbeing of ALL women in the communities we serve.

Our mission is to be a key resource which enables women to enhance their quality of life and to make choices in their health care in a positive and welcoming atmosphere.

Our staff offers information, support, counselling and treatment to help women prevent health problems and understand their choices when problems occur.

We believe that with information and support, women can make safe, informed choices about their health.

About my libraryPLEASE REMEMBER: Resource materials from the Women's Health Care Centre are intended to provide health information, not medical advice. They are not a substitute for consultation with a health professional.

The Lending Library has books, videos, DVDs, CDs, pamphlets, periodicals, etc. on a wide range of health concerns available for loan to people in the four county area.

To see the newest items added to our collection, search for the tag: NEW

Members can register for free, and may borrow two items at a time (books for 3 weeks, videos and DVDs for 3 days).

If someone from the four county area could not find the information they needed in our collection, or did not want to borrow books, she could request that the Resource Coordinator try to put together an information package. Information packages can be picked up at our downtown site, emailed or mailed.
