Online Health Resources
Finding accurate and reliable health information on the Internet can be a challenge. That's why the KCPL staff has put together this page of health resources that provide information on illnesses, diseases, medications, treatments, wellness and much, much more.
However…
The links from this KCPL health page are not meant to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have any questions regarding a medical condition, seek the advice of your physician or qualified health provider. Never disregard professional medical advice/treatment or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the Internet.
