health news

Health news and tips are some of the most popular content areas of the Internet. With the Obama administration promising to dramatically change the health care system in the U.S., it seems likely that health blogs and websites will continue to grow in popularity.

One of the most prominent medical websites is WebMD which produces professional content on a wide variety of health topics. If you want a more personal touch with an active community, Everyday Health groups together dozens of blogs covering specific conditions and allows users to create their own blog. In addition to the stand-alone websites, Yahoo!, MSN, and AOL all have active health areas.

For those wanting health information from a range of sources, several sites aggregate health and medical news. Your Health Topics collects the latest health news from dozens of trusted sources including both websites and blogs. Healthline features a custom-built search engine that scours 200,000 consumer health sites for information on medical conditions and treatments.
