Wellness at the Pratt
In partnership with the University of Maryland School of Nursing, the Pratt Library will host nursing students at select library locations to provide health assessments for library customers. Through a grant from HRSA and in partnership with the Baltimore Health Department, we will also have nursing students at two senior centers.
In-Person Health Assessments
Nurses will be able to assist with:
General health assessments
Blood pressure checks
Medicine education
Finding healthcare providers
Referrals for care

Accessing digital health resources and telehealth
The nurses cannot assist with first aid, wound care, emergency services, diagnosis of illness, or vaccinations.
Anyone experiencing a medical emergency should call 911.
