| | | | Virtual Ability, Inc. (VAI) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a partnership with the Alliance Library System (ALS). This partnership will develop a new island with an orientation, training, and consumer health information center for people with disabilities and chronic illness. The new facilities will expand VAI's services in Second Life beyond its current presence as "The Heron Sanctuary," which provides a community of support for people with disabilities.
ALS will provide funding to the partnership based on its receipt of a grant called Share the Health: Training People with Disabilities and Chronic Medical Conditions on how to Locate Quality Health Information from the Greater Midwest Region/National Library of Medicine. This grant is intended to provide consumer health information to people with disabilities and chronic illness in Second Life.
