Your Place for Information

Your Place for Information
GPPL has created a database of nationwide services that may assist you as you deal with the challenges that come with health issues.

We cannot offer medical advice or treatment options but we can sit down with you and look for organizations that may give you assistance in other areas.

In these times, demand is great and organizations are few, but our Librarians are experts in researching groups that will assist you.
Please call us.
We will research any area, at no cost. 313.343.2074 ext 200
