For nearly two decades, Johns Hopkins has pursued editorial initiatives that bring more than a century of health care authority to the general public through books, newsletters and, now, the World Wide Web.

This is particularly important today, when tens of millions of people go online in search of health information they can trust. Yet Internet researchers continue to report persistent deficiencies in the quality of Web-based health information.

Johns Hopkins Health Information is not a destination Web site but rather an electronic resource of thousands of articles updated annually and available only through partner sites, which license the library either in its entirety or by topic.

Timely and responsive to the public’s interests and concerns, Johns Hopkins’ consumer health information is developed by medical writers, drawing directly on the experience and expertise of the more than 3,800 research and clinical faculty of the Johns Hopkins Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Public Health, who take final responsibility for the information’s medical accuracy and timeliness.

That’s why our health information carries the Johns Hopkins name; resources you can depend upon from the source you can trust.
