Web site that provides information on diseases, illnesses, treatments, medications, wellness, and more. This web site is much more interactive and busy than Medline Plus and healthfinder.gov in that it contains a variety of health quizzes, message boards, health blogs, and video clips. The daily features, quizzes, and topic highlights give this web site the feel of a health magazine that has been put on the Internet.
