When we consider the abilities and disabilities of ourselves and family
members, there are many factors that we cannot control. However, we do
have some degree of control of our lifestyle and we can work to make it
as healthy as possible. We can also work in many ways to make the communities
in which we live healthy environments.
At the same time, when medical conditions arise, we want to find answers.
The Internet today has thousands of health sites with an overwhelming
amount of information. This page contains annotated links to some of the
many quality sites for medical and health information. Of course, no site
is a substitute for the personal attention of your physician; however,
we hope you can be better informed when you do need to visit a doctor.
Because of the holistic emphasis of Companion
Resources on persons living in community, we provide links to sites
that emphasize personal health and also include lesser known sites that
emphasize community health.
