This site is a consumer-focused interactive Web site which provides users with comprehensive healthcare information on a wide variety of subjects, as well as access to reputable medical databases, other publications, real-time medical news, interactive communities, interactive tools and opportunities to purchase healthcare-related products and services online. This is probably the #1 consumer-oriented health site and therefore a welcome member of the AOL family. Yes, it's very Yankee-doodle with lots of commercial bells and whistles, sometimes verbose, yet always informative, and a very professionally designed and maintained site.
