Welcome to Griffin Hospital’s Community Health Resource Center
The Community Health Resource Center (HRC) at Griffin Hospital is a traditional free lending library that provides an array of medical and health information. The HRC contains a collection of easy-to-read health and lifestyle related materials for patients and their families to become better informed and make more educated decisions about the various treatment options available to them.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Resource Center is temporarily closed to visitors.
We apologize for any inconvenience – we will update our hours when precaution policies have changed.
