What makes Johns Hopkins’ health information unique is that our clinicians and researchers are evident throughout all of our editorial material. Each article is written with a Johns Hopkins expert, who generally is quoted and referenced throughout a piece.

Those seeking authoritative health information know they’ve come to the right place.

The Johns Hopkins Health Information Library contains more than 5,000 feature articles, sidebars, Q & A’s with Hopkins faculty and general disease and condition information covering 40 broad Health Topic Areas, all written at about an eighth-grade reading level.

We also organize the Library in the following ways to help your site visitors more easily find the health information they seek:

The Johns Hopkins A-Z Encyclopedia provides an overview of more than 800 diseases and conditions.

Health Topic Areas organize information by body systems and general conditions (such as the circulatory system and diabetes).

Health Resource Centers organize our Health Topic Areas into dozens of specific health-related sub-topics (such as coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure and adult-onset diabetes).

Other editorial services that clients can order include:

From the Doctors at Johns Hopkins, a link on partner sites that allows site visitors to get answers to their specific health topic-based questions.

Johns Hopkins Health News Commentary is a three-day-a-week offering of articles in which Hopkins experts provide their perspective on current health news and trends.

To allow our content partners to integrate our editorial material with as much flexibility as possible, the Library content is stored in HTML format in a SQL database, structured so that metadata is associated with the content. Our preferred delivery method is to export from SQL; other export accommodations may require an additional fee.
