This is a website forwarded to me from the Crozer-Keystone Health System Community Health Office. Worth spending some time browsing.

Multilingual health information for refugees and their health providers
This is apparently published by the National Library of Medicine.

More help from the state

Here's another site that compiles a lot of useful links for people having difficulties with jobs, health care, housing, food, heating, and more. This is a good site to spend some time browsing.

Court System

Sandra Day O'Connor has been all over the tv the last couple of days touting a new website she's helped develop:

I got lost wandering through the links on Tribal governments in the US. Prize to the first person who emails me the name of the Penobscot Indian nation chief executive.

Job Searching

This was passed along from the state library. It seems to cover jobs from part time at Kohl's to post doc research positions.

Searchable, doesn't seem to charge anything, direct links to employers, and current.
