About Healthwise, Incorporated
The mission of Healthwise, a nonprofit organization, is to help
people make better health decisions. Since 1975 Healthwise has developed
Prescription-Strength Information™ resources that
doctors trust and consumers rely on because they are accurate and up to date.
In fact, every year people make more than 90 million health decisions using
Healthwise information.
One of those resources, the Healthwise®
Knowledgebase, contains comprehensive, current, evidence-based, and unbiased
information to help consumers make decisions about their health. The
Healthwise® Knowledgebase helps consumers to work in
partnership with their doctors by offering easy-to-find and easy-to-understand
information about conditions, diseases, medical tests, medications, treatment
options, and key decision points. Ultimately, the
Healthwise® Knowledgebase supports a variety of
health care decisions, such as when a problem can be treated at home, when to
see a doctor, and what treatment options may be best for an individual. An
independent medical advisory board reviews information in the
Healthwise® Knowledgebase to ensure medical accuracy
and currency.
If you would like to comment on the
Healthwise® Knowledgebase, please contact your
sponsoring organization or e-mail Healthwise at comments@healthwise.org. If you
contact Healthwise about the Healthwise®
Knowledgebase, you can expect a response within approximately two weeks.
