HEALTH WEBSITES – WebMD

Health Website

WebMD labels itself as “the leading source for trustworthy and timely health and medical news and information.” And aside from having this handy symptom checking tool, they offer up-to-date information on a variety of medical topics, and even have what they call “health centers” that focus on various medical conditions from acne and asthma to sleep disorders and strokes. KidsHealth

KidsHealth is another one of the many health websites available – and like WebMD it is very highly-ranked, said to be the most visited site regarding children’s health. When you first enter the site, you are given three mini health websites to visit: the site created for adults, the one created for kids, and the one created for teenagers. Some of the links include infections, emotions and behavior, medical problems, and doctor and hospital information. In sum, this part of the site works to look at health from the parent’s perspective to help them be a better health administrator to their child.

Of the three mini health websites, the kids’ site offers the most kid-friendly information developed to help them learn with a little fun in tow. There are spelling bees related to health topics, recipes for health and fun foods, articles about growing up, understanding the body, and dealing with feelings, and even a glossary of medical terms written in very easy to understand definitions. The topics on their page include understanding the body, sexual health, infections, food and fitness. The three mini health websites are great ways to help people understand the health of those under 18 and allows them to comprehend in their own unique ways.

These two health websites are just a few of the many available.
