We are also a full-service business center, offering:

And, we offer a quiet and peaceful place if you are in between appointments or waiting for test results. We also have a children's area with games, puzzles and picture books.

The Health and Wellness Library is a partnership of VCU Health, VCU Libraries, and the VCU Medical Center Auxiliary, who recognized the ongoing and growing need for health information for our patients and community.

All of our services are free. Our goal is to help you and your loved ones be well informed about your health.
