Welcome to the refurbished GMR blog!

Midwest Matters will feature news from the GMR Office, health news highlights, and even guest posts from some of our awardees. Our hope is that this blog will help our members stay connected to health news, provide updates about National Library of Medicine programs and products, and help our members dream up ideas for health information outreach projects.
