We have started a collection of patient handouts that you can download and print. (Note: Many of these are large file and may take a long time to download.) Some of these documents are in .pdf format - if you don’t have Acrobat Reader, you can get it here. Permissions have been granted for all of the pamphlets we have scanned in; other links go directly to publicly-available sites. If you have any other handouts you would like to contribute, please contact us.
