The National Institute of Health has a website dedicated to providing free health info for older adults. It's called NIHSeniorHealth. You can visit the website at http://nihseniorhealth.gov/
The site allows users to easily change text size and color contrast for easier viewing. There is even a text to speech feature that will read the website aloud.
There are various health categories, such as cancer, healthy aging, and vision and hearing. Links to health videos are included as well.
The welcome message at http://nihseniorhealth.gov/welcome.html states:
"Good information is the best medicine for older adults. NIHSeniorHealth can help seniors find answers to their medical questions from the comfort of their own homes thanks to this new and innovative online resource and the Internet."
Donald A.B. Lindberg, M.D.
Director, National Library of Medicine
So, be sure to check out this free health resource and share it with the older adults in your life!
