Go Local
In an effort to expand the available breast health resources to Nebraskan’s, the Nebraska Affiliate partnered with the Nebraska Go Local Initiative, a service of McGoogan Library of Medicine, and University of Nebraska Medical Center in cooperation with U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, to develop a robust list of breast health resources for Nebraska citizens. Go Local offers a broad range of health services in Nebraska which are represented with emphasis on clinics, hospitals, health departments, public health services, nursing home facilities, mental health centers, libraries, emergency medical services, home health care services, and support groups. You can search this database specifically by breast cancer or breast health services. The Nebraska Affiliate is working with the McGoogan Library of Medicine staff to continually update resources on this site. Go Local can be accessed at http://medlineplus.gov/nebraska.
