The New York Times recently included a column comparing two well-known health information websites: WebMD and MayoClinic.com. The author notes the differences between the two sites in easy-to-use layouts, paid content and hard facts.
She openly compliments Mayo Clinic online content on its promise to integrity and continuously putting the needs of the patient first.
"What you’ll get is: No hysteria. No drug peddling. Good medicine. Good ideas. The integrity of the whole institution is on the line with this site, and the Mayo Clinic has every motivation to keep its information authoritative and up to date."
Take the time to read the article "A Prescription for Fear" and take comfort in knowing that, with Mayo Clinic online content you are providing your organization and people with top-notch, current and unbiased health information.
