Lending Library
The West Virginia Network of Ethics Committees maintains a “Lending Library” of audio and video tapes of presentations that we feel would be of interest to our members. These tapes are available on loan, free of charge on a first-come first-served basis, from the Network office. Simply call the Network office at 877-209-8086 and the material will be sent to you. After you have viewed or listened to your selection, please return it by the date that you are given (two weeks from its arrival unless prior arrangements are made) so that others may be able to use it in a timely fashion. Please carefully package the material to avoid damage during shipment. If you are aware of a video that would be helpful to our membership – especially as we expand membership from nursing homes, home health agencies, and hospice – please call the Network office so we may preview and perhaps purchase it for our Lending Library.
Call 877-209-8086 to request tapes.
