When searching for medical information, the LSUHSC libraries encourage the general public to use patient oriented websites such as MedlinePlus, instead of search engines such as Google.  Many of these preferred sources can be found through the National Institute of Health and the National Library of Medicine.  Here are some resources we recommend:

MedlinePlus:  https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/

NIHSeniorHealth:  http://nihseniorhealth.gov/

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:  http://www.cdc.gov/

National Institute of Mental Health:  https://www.nimh.nih.gov/index.shtml
