A form letter is enclosed with each response, encouraging the requestor to discuss the material with his physician or health care provider. Nebraska residents who have no authoritative source of health information have found CHIRS valuable and empowering. The library reaches over 700 citizens per year through this service and the staff who provide it receive frequent thank you notes from individuals across the state.
