For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material.

This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: National Institutes of Health (NIH), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Combined Health Information Database (CHID), and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Contents include clinical and medical information, with information on signs, symptoms, testing, diagnosis, treatment, and more.
