A Cure For The Common Clutter
While the number of health Web sites is skyrocketing, consumers can simplify their searches for information by visiting healthfinder.gov, the federal online gateway that gives them access to reliable health information and health news. Since 1997, healthfinder supported by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has been recognized as a key resource for finding the best government and nonprofit health information on the Internet.
"Health issues concern everyone. healthfinder?helps people get information they can trust, when they need to know it," said Captain Penelope Slade Royall, P.T., M.S.W., Director, ODPHP.
The Web site serves as a "one-stop shop," offering English- and Spanish-speaking consumers many useful features, including:
• Quick-reference health guides on diseases, conditions, and injuries
• A drug database containing information on prescriptions and potential drug interactions
• Easy to use search capacity, connecting users to health information from more than 300 federal agencies and more than 600 nonprofit organizations
• Online tools, quizzes, and health calculators
• Health news headlines and monthly announcements featuring health events
• Consumer guides to locating health providers and facilities
• An online library featuring consumer resources, such as a guide to surgical procedures and medical dictionaries for adults and children.
