Medline Plus ... is the site that’s maintained by the National Library of Medicine, which is part of the National Institutes of Health, so they have evaluated different sources of information, different websites that are put up by associations like the American Heart Association ... .
Those sites have been examined by the NIH, and so we know that those are reliable sources of information ... .
Then they have this option called ‘go local’, and a lot of the states have started entering information about local support groups, and ... so when somebody searches on a topic like ‘Alzheimer’s disease’, and they find the general information in Medline Plus, then they can click ... and that will bring up information about the Alzheimer’s support group.
