The Info-Neuro Cart

听

What is the Info-Neuro cart?

The Neuro-Patient Resource Centre (NPRC) brings an information cart to the waiting rooms of many ambulatory clinics of the Neuro and the Neuro Day Centre, at least twice a month for each clinic.

This initiative began in 2022 with the goal of bringing educational materials and support resources to patients and their loved ones.

What information does the Info-Neuro cart provide?

For each clinic, our NPRC library assistants carefully select books, brochures and other resources related to neurological disorders and health to meet the information needs of patients and their families.

If the cart doesn鈥檛 have what you are looking for, we will help you find it elsewhere!

If you missed the cart, come on by the Neuro-Patient Resource Centre (room 354) to benefit from our free services and resources.

Our Team

History

The Neuro Patient Resource Cen颅tre was founded in听1999听by mem颅bers of The Neuro Patients鈥� Com颅mit颅tee who saw an increas颅ing need for patients and their fam颅i颅lies to be able to find reli颅able neu颅ro颅log颅i颅cal health information.

Since it opened, the Cen颅tre has been staffed by pro颅fes颅sional librar颅i颅ans spe颅cial颅ized in health care infor颅ma颅tion. Their work has been sup颅ported by the Centre鈥檚 con颅sumer health web颅site which is designed to help patients and their fam颅i颅lies find good infor颅ma颅tion. Our librar颅i颅ans, with the encour颅age颅ment of the Hos颅pi颅tal Admin颅is颅tra颅tion and assisted by the Centre鈥檚 Advi颅sory Com颅mit颅tee (an extra颅or颅di颅nary group of health-鈥媍are pro颅fes颅sion颅als and active vol颅un颅teers), ensure that every颅one using the Cen颅tre is offered first-鈥媍lass library and ref颅er颅ence services.

We have always worked closely with the health-鈥媍are pro颅fes颅sion颅als in the Hos颅pi颅tal to assist write, trans颅late and print patient infor颅ma颅tion for our patients. The Cen颅tre also helps orga颅nize work颅shops, sem颅i颅nars, and sup颅port groups.

Thanks to the gen颅eros颅ity of the Friends of the Neuro, we estab颅lished and con颅tinue to develop our Nancy Pit颅field Col颅lec颅tion. This includes hun颅dreds of consumer-鈥媓ealth books, pam颅phlets, arti颅cles and videos. The Friends also made it pos颅si颅ble for us to offer patients and their fam颅i颅lies a small oasis in the Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) 鈥� they ensure that the Resource Cen颅tre is well equipped and taste颅fully dec颅o颅rated so that it is best able to answer the needs of our patients, their fam颅i颅lies and of the com颅mu颅nity in general.

Start-鈥媢p money sup颅port for the Cen颅tre came from the Friends of the Neuro, the McConnell Fam颅ily Foun颅da颅tion, the听MUHC听Foun颅da颅tion, and the听Neuro Patients鈥� Com颅mit颅tee, as well as many indi颅vid颅ual donors. Since then we have been for颅tu颅nate to receive finan颅cial assis颅tance from the Mon颅treal Neu颅ro颅log颅i颅cal Hos颅pi颅tal and the 91丝瓜视频 Uni颅ver颅sity Health Cen颅tre. We are most grate颅ful to the听MUHC听Foun颅da颅tion, which has over颅seen the busi颅ness side of our oper颅a颅tion since听2002听and for the con颅tin颅u颅ing sup颅port of the Friends of the Neuro, the听Neuro Patients鈥� Com颅mit颅tee, The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital), and from our indi颅vid颅ual donors.

We work closely with clinical staff and professionals at the Neuro, the MUHC Patients鈥� Committee, and the MUHC Patient Education Committee to ensure our collection meets our patrons鈥� information needs. We also work with the following MUHC patient resource centres to coordinate programming and collection development efforts:

Land Acknowledgement

The Neuro is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations, a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples.

The NPRC recognizes that Indigenous patients face additional barriers in accessing healthcare, and we do our best to help them navigate the MUHC healthcare system and find the information they need.

The MUHC Users' Committee has developed a pamphlet written in Kanien'k茅ha, Cree, and Inuktitut to ensure patient rights can be more widely understood, which we distribute at the centre and throughout the Neuro.听
