NetWellness supporters are saying…“The Internet provides widespread, anytime access to information. Using this tool to help people become more informed about their health can help people lead healthier lifestyles, make better decisions, and learn where to turn when they need more help. Ohio has been a leader in this area and I’m glad to continue to support this important health outreach with these funds [fiscal year 2003 grant].” “As Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education, I am pleased to assist in providing these funds [fiscal year 2003 grant]. As the Internet becomes an increasingly important source of information in many areas, including health, a non-profit site such as NetWellness, has exceptional value. It ensures that the collective expertise of Ohio’s three premier research universities is available to all the nation’s citizens.” “With origins in Ohio, NetWellness has been able to offer the collective expertise of three premier universities to become an important nationwide resource to address the needs of many different and diverse communities. With this funding [fiscal year 2003 grant], NetWellness can continue to develop information vital to both public and individual health, including bioterror preparedness, stroke, fitness and cancer.”
