We encourage you to spend some time visiting the sites that apply to you and your family. Our main concern is to help with your emergencies, but you may just improve your quality of life in the process.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Dense but well organized, this government-run website aims to provide you with “credible, reliable health information” on everything from workplace safety to potential epidemics.

American Association of Poison Control Centers
aapcc.org
The primary service of the AAPCC is a free, 24-hour poison help hotline (800-222-1222). Professionals can help address a poison concern immediately. But the organization’s website also contains valuable information about poison first aid and “poison-proofing” your home.

MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online)
pubmed.org, hubmed.org
The U.S. National Library of Medicine keeps track of around 5,000 selected publications, mostly medical journals; it has more 18 million articles referenced and summarized. The database of these articles is available online through MEDLINE. It’s a great way to find the latest information on everything from nursing techniques to experimental treatments.

Online Healthcare Communities
webmd.com, revolutionhealth.com
Can’t find what you’re looking for? These two websites offer factual information about medical conditions, symptoms and treatments, as well as tips on healthy living. But most importantly, they host established online communities. Read blogs from various experts. Post your symptoms on a message board. Take part in a virtual conversation about health.
