Kovacs, Beatrice
In response to a growing need for personal health and fitness information, this guide provides the telephone numbers and addresses of organizations serving public information interests. Features include: alphabetical entries for 404 organizations from AIDS Clinical Trials Information Service, Air Ambulance America to Visiting Nurse Association of America, and Y-Me National Organization for Breast Cancer Information and Support; more than 1,000 current telephone numbers, including toll-free numbers, hotlines, recorded public information messages, and Teletypewriter/Telephone Device for the Deaf (TTY/TDD) where available; and detailed subject and hotline indexes. The small size of this guide was chosen for quick desk reference. (Author/MAS)
