This site seeks to provide basic health education and explanation. To promote health literacy and engagement in disease self-management in underserved communities/populations. As a health professional I encounter countless individuals who lack the basic knowledge needed to make the best decisions on health issues. There appears to be a lack of general understanding of the most common diseases although there are multiple sources of information. I have discovered that the sources tend to create more perplexities. People cannot decide which sources have credibility/authenticity, nor do they understand some of the technical language used. I believe that more basic health/medical explanation is needed.
