General Introduction

What is "Consumer Health?"

Wikipedia defines consumer health as bridging the gap between patients and health resources.  In short, consumer health focuses on providing information that is accessible and consumable for the average health consumer.  It focuses on health literacy and consumer education, and most of the resources that you will find here will be written with a lay audience in mind.
