PA Forward • Advisory Board • Nancy D. Zionts, Jewish Healthcare Foundation of Pittsburgh • Partner Organizations • The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of PA • Two Priorities • Far more people look for health information online than see a doctor on a typical day. • On popular search engines, only one link in five leads to relevant health information.
Burning ? • How can I provide reputable resources without draining my current, already insufficient budget? • Who can I partner with to provide these resources? • What topics are of interest or needed?
Starter Topics • Nutrition and or Exercise • Overcoming smoking • Diabetes • Understand prescription drugs • Women’s/Men’s health • Pregnancy health issues • Special populations • Toxic substances
