Health Information Resources

The following Health Information Web Resources have been compiled by the Health Services Agency to provide health information from A to Z — prevention & wellness, diseases & conditions, medical dictionaries, encyclopedias, journals, plus access to county/state and federal health data and reports. We do not diagnose medical conditions, offer medical advice, give referrals or endorse commercial products. We strive to provide educational resources that are accurate, effective and current.

In a Harris Poll release 8/11/00 the number of Americans accessing on-line health information has nearly doubled since July 1998. According to the survey, 98 million adults reported using the Internet to look up health information, compared to 54 million in a similar July 1998 poll. There are large amounts of great information on the Internet, sometimes it takes a bit of investigation to find what you want. If you find any web links that don't work, or find sites you think would be appropriate for this page, or have any feedback, please email us: feedback@santacruzhealth.com.
