2. There’s more to good health than just knowing the facts. What you do plays the biggest role. HealthFinder.gov was built to help people use health information. Try the page’s “myhealthfinder” link to find what check-ups you, your child or another family member might need this year. The site won a ClearMark Award for Plain Language in 2013. That means you don’t have to worry about hard-to-understand medical language or errors in the info.
3. AHealthyUnderstanding.org was built with the help of more than 50 local groups, including people from Allegheny County Health Department, Highmark and UPMC. The site was built to help providers and consumers talk to each other. It offers tools for before, during and after medical visits. It also helps people prepare for emergency care. You can print tools from the site and use them to track and own your health info.
Everyone knows that technology plays a big role in health care. But the secret is—so do you! Use these sites to get tips, tools and the truth about health.
