A Community Approach to Serving Health Information Needs: NetWellness

Abstract

Abstract As consumers face an increasing need for useful health information, the Internet may become an important vehicle for meeting that need. However, not everyone has—or can afford—computers and communications links, let alone the time to sift through the vast number of potentially useful materials available. What is a person to do? Enter NetWellness. Here are consumer-oriented health information resources, which can be reached from home or office, or by visiting a nearby public library, clinic or hospital waiting room, or pharmacy.
