Now you can get answers to some of your personal healthcare questions at any time, day or night, in the privacy of your home! Bridgeport Hospital is proud to introduce its new, expanded Health Information Audio Library, with more than 1,500 healthcare topics in 30 categories. This free service, courtesy of Bridgeport Hospital and the Yale New Haven Health System, offers information, advice, and even basic instructions in handling certain common healthcare problems. Written by medical experts, teachers, and researchers, all information has the seal of approval from Yale New Haven Health, including Bridgeport Hospital, Yale-New Haven Hospital, Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital, and Greenwich Hospital. (Please note, however: It is not intended to substitute for the advice of your personal physician.)
