Looking for Reliable Health Information?

Reliable Websites For Common Conditions and Issues

Many community members find that making health care decisions is one of the biggest challenges that they face as patients. Finding reliable health information on the internet can be difficult. Ontario County Public Health has tried to reduce some of that challenge by providing a comprehensive list of common illnesses and issues that our residents face. Every link will take you to a trusted website where you can find accurate unbiased health information

Where Can I Find Reliable Health Information Online?
The National Institutes of Health website is a good place to start for reliable health information. As a rule, health websites sponsored by Federal Government agencies are good sources of information. You can reach all Federal websites by visiting www.usa.gov. Large professional organizations and well-known medical schools may also be good sources of health information.
