When it comes to your health, you don’t want to risk following outdated or untrustworthy information. One of the best sites for finding health information is MedlinePlus®.
Brought to you by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, MedlinePlus provides information to patients and their families in language that’s easy to understand. According to their website, “MedlinePlus brings together authoritative information from NLM, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other government agencies and health-related organizations. MedlinePlus also contains extensive information about drugs and supplements, an illustrated medical encyclopedia, interactive tutorials, the latest health news, and surgery videos.” Another helpful aspect of the site is its medical dictionary, where you can look up words you don’t understand.
