Best Websites for Healthcare Information

The following are some of the top sites used by healthcare professionals for up-to-date information on protecting your health: 
1) www.nih.gov
2) www.cdc.gov
3) www.who.int


Many people are often looking for the best resource for information on the latest and greatest for the treatment/protection of their own health. The above sites are used by clinicians around the country and world to find information that is helpful in caring for their patients. I hope you will find those sites helpful. The first one is the National Institute of Health, which is responsible for much of the research on medical conditions done today. Their reports and input can be found on the site. The CDC has the most uptodate information on diseases and their occurrence- it's easily helpful if you're travelling. Finally, the World Health Organization site, http://www.who.int/ is the site that gives the uptodate information for topics related to world health.. Hope you find these sites helpful!
As we inch our way into Winter here, I just want to remind everyone of the importance of antibacterial sanitizers for your hands, and handwashing in general.. This time of year many people spend more of their days inside.. We are often in public settings such as airports, movie theaters, malls.. and these are the places where we 'share' viruses.. So, remember when you can to protect yourself and your family by keeping your hands as germ free as possible!
