Healthwise Nonprofit Mission
Healthwise has helped people make decisions since 1975. We believe:
  • You have the right to accurate information about your health conditions and treatment options.


  • Medical decisions made with your informed input are most likely to yield the best results for you and your family.


  • Every person, with the benefit of good information, can improve the quality and the results of his or her health care.
Healthwise also believes that patients should receive high-quality information as a part of their health care. We call it "information therapy" and are working hard to encourage and enable doctors and nurses to send information prescriptions to their patients.
