"HealthWorld has set its sites high -- but it proves itself admirably up to the task." -- Lycos
HealthWorld Online Rated Equal to AMA and National Library of Medicine in Lycos Ratings of Health Web Sites and Tied for 1st in Alternative Medicine Category
"With a promise to serve as the Internet's most comprehensive wellness resource, HealthWorld has set its sites high -- but it proves itself admirably up to the task. Designed as a colorful virtual village of healthy living, it offers easily
accessed and well-rounded resources in such categories as Alternative Medicine, Wellness, Nutrition, Public Health, Fitness and Self-Care. A visit to the Alternative & Complementary Medicine Center found guides to alt-med basics, plus
introductions to and research on major systems such as Ayurvedic Medicine and Homeopathy, and prominent therapies such as Aromatherapy, Biofeedback and Guided Imagery. The Newsroom, Professional Center and Forums help keep health-oriented news flowing as well. Though much of the consumer information is free, HealthWorld is a commercial venture, and it's got plenty of stuff for sale in areas such as the Marketplace (which even includes a healthy vacation section). But even if you keep your wallet closed, HealthWorld Online offers a wealth of wellness resources. 14 October 1997: One of the best additions to this site is its QuikN'dex, which lists all the site's resources on one page, a far cleaner way of getting the lay of the land." -- Lycos

New Book from Mosby Publishing Grants HealthWorld Online Status as One of Top 5 Internet Medical Networks!
"This is the cat's pajamas, visually speaking -- colorful, catchy logo and compelling graphics.....This is not just a network, it is a Village......
This is browsing at its best. There are legal and
legislative forums, calendars of upcoming events, and a
marketplace where you can buy the latest book on alternative
medicine or get a shipment of goldenseal. The Village is a
clever concept meant to build a sense of community about
alternative (as well as conventional) approaches to health
care.....
HealthWorld Online is a philosophical and practical
environment for self-managed care, as well as a visionary
Web site. The providers believe that information makes for
informed consumers and practitionters, and they want you
to have all the information possible -- with a heavy accent
on alternative practice.....this innovative network has
enormous potential."

It was a distinct pleasure meeting with you today. Clearly you
are well on your way to having a benchmark healthcare information
service. The quality you are aggregating will provide consumers

my hope that AT&T can be a significant vehicle for distributing
your service.
