Join us for a discussion of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.  Doctors took her cells without asking.  Those cells never died.  They launched a medical revolution and a multimillion-dollar industry.  More than twenty years later, her children found out.  Their lives would never be the same.

Lanai Library has 8 paperback copies of this title to loan to interested participants on a first come first served basis.  The title is also available in hardcovers, audiobooks, and e-book formats through the Hawaii State Public Library System and may be requested and borrowed with a valid HSPLS library card.

Sponsored by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, this book discussion brings awareness to health literacy and the health information needs in our community.
