healthfinder® is a gateway consumer health information Web site from the United States government. The goal of the Web site is to improve consumer access to selected health information from government agencies, their many partner organizations, and other reliable sources that serve the public interest. healthfinder® also links to human services organizations and other sectors that can influence health, such as agriculture, environment, labor, and transportation. The content of healthfinder® is structured around organizations, specifically their role as providers of consumer information on health and health-related topics. In the healthfinder® selection process, each organization is reviewed to establish its general reliability and credibility, as well as its ability to respond to inquiries from the public. One or more of an organization's Web-accessible information resources (Web) also may be selected and abstracted separately, also with a direct Internet link, to simplify consumer access.
