Just as I don't think Government Information Stands alone, I don't see how Consumer Information or Consumer Health could unless PLA methodically thinks through and evaluates all other potential subsets.

We are considering developing a statewide initiative regarding consumer health and possibly tying it to focused services for baby boomers. I am wondering if other folks are thinking about consumer health as a key service response.
