Health.gov--an easy to use search engine for all of your health needs

Health.gov does not look like much at first glance, but I easily directed my attention to the numerous search links under the "General Health Information" subheading. My selection directed me to the National Women's Health Information Center, another government-run website with up to date information on the latest findings in female health. The search feature of this site was certainly impressive. A search for "ovarian cancer" yielded 107 results, but what I found most helpful was the list of "top news articles" that appeared on the results' page. The article I read, "Oral Contraceptives Cut Ovarian Cancer Risk" was based on information obtained from an Oxford University medical journal. The article was posted fairly recently, less than a month ago. The site itself is very inviting and user friendly. It lacked the artistic appeal of commercial websites, but the content of the website was nonetheless professional and reliable, knowing that the government is behind the service. I would give this site an overall score of 9 for its commitment to having up to date publications.
