NC Health Info Portal

Posted by Max on 31 March, 2008 in Library News

My co-worker Rusty pointed me to this great health portal.

NC Health Info is an online guide to Web sites of quality health and medical information and local health services throughout North Carolina. Designed to meet the needs and interests of North Carolinians, NC Health Info leads users to resources that are reliable and easy to understand. Links on NC Health Info are selected and maintained by North Carolina librarians.

You can look up all sorts of diseases and conditions like Asthma, Flu, Lyme Disease and many more. There are breakout sections of the following:

Mental Health Issues
Medications
Health Care (including managing health care and insurance)
Health topics for specific age groups and - probably the best part of all…
Go Local

With Go Local, I looked up Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Health information for Bertie County. Though the service was not able to find any resources on this topic for this particular county, it did point me to resources in neighboring counties.

Give it a try!
