Are you looking for answers to your own personal health questions?
There’s lots of health content on the Internet. In fact, sometimes it can seem like there’s too much. How can you know what’s medically accurate and up to date? Where can you find information that you don’t need a medical degree to understand? Who can you trust?
Look here for Healthwise health information:
- Check your hospital’s and health plan’s websites, and look for the Healthwise logo.
- Or visit WebMD, a consumer health website that uses Healthwise content.
- O visite HolaDoctor si desea leer información de salud. (Busque el logotipo de Healthwise.)
