Patient Education

Use the link below to access the patient education materials Database, available through University of Missouri Health Care. The materials listed in the database provide health education and information covering a wide range of inpatient and outpatient topics. The database also provides information about additional healthcare-related resources such as support groups, websites, and the J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library at University of Missouri-Columbia.

Of course, the primary resource for health education is a patient's healthcare provider. The information available from the Patient Education Database is for educational purposes only and does not replace any advice or instruction provided by you as a healthcare provider.

Please note that patient education materials produced by the faculty and staff of University of Missouri Health Care are available in Adobe PDF format and may be printed free of charge. However, materials that are purchased by University of Missouri Health Care from outside vendors may not be viewed or printed directly from this web site. For information about purchasing these patient education materials, please call Debbie Bietsch at (573) 884-8830.
