The Delaware Health Source (formerly the Delaware Consumer Health Information Services program) started serving the citizens of Kent County in 2003 and expanded coverage to include Sussex County in 2004. In fall 2006 New Castle County was added to the program. Funding comes from a grant provided by Delaware Health and Social Service's Division of Public Health. Dover Public Library, Lewes Public Library, and Bear Public Library are the host libraries providing space and resources for the consumer health librarians. The Delaware Academy of Medicine is the sponsoring organization and has over 78 years of experience serving the health information needs of hospitals, physicians, dentists and consumers throughout the state.

The mission of the Delaware Health Source is to partner with individuals and communities to promote a healthy Delaware. We provide unbiased, knowledgeable resources, outreach, and education so Delawareans can make informed health care decisions.
