WEBSITES FOR HEALTH INFORMATION

You can’t believe everything you see on the Internet and this is especially true when it comes to health information. However, not all health information on the Internet is bad. You just have to follow a couple simple rules to ensure you are getting accurate information.

Rule #1 Don’t “Google” or “Wikipedia” your symptoms and read every result. Some of the information may not be coming from medical professionals or be reliable.

Rule #2 When looking for medical information online, use websites sponsored by the government, medical schools, major research centers and national organizations.

Here is a list of websites that would be good sources for health information:

www.cdc.gov   -  Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC)
www.healthfinder.gov  -  U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
www.health.gov -  National Health Information Center
www.medline.gov -  National Library of Medicine
www.healthywomen.org - National Women’s Health Information Center (NWHIC)
www.mayoclinic.com  -  The Mayo Clinic
www.cancernet.nci.nih.gov  - National Cancer Institute
www.mdanderson.org -   M.D. Anderson Cancer Institute
www.cancer.org  - American Cancer Society
www.diabetes.org  - American Diabetes Association
www.heart.org - American Heart Association
