Health Information

Following more than two and a half years of consumer research, this site was developed by VHA Inc., a nationwide information and services network of more than 2,200 leading community-owned not-for-profit healthcare organizations, including Grady Memorial Hospital, and their affiliated physicians.

The research revealed that consumers want convenient, credible, and easy-to-understand health and medical information, and they want to play a greater role in the healthcare services provided to them and their families. This site answers these needs by providing consumers with a comprehensive, one-stop source of reliable, current health information that can be accessed through this Web site.

Health Information offers certified medical information on a wide variety of topics such as:

and a personal section titled

My Health

This valuable information can answer many medical questions. However, contact your
personal physician about serious medical conditions.

A Personal Health Record Resource is also available through:
American Health Information Management Association at www.myPHR.com

Keeping your own personal health record (PHR) allows you to provide doctors with
valuable information that can help improve the quality of care you receive.
A PHR can help reduce or eliminate duplicate tests and allow you to receive faster,
safer treatment and care in an emergency. In short, a PHR helps you play a more
active role in yours and your loved ones’ healthcare

Local Support Classes in Diabetes and Cancer as well as other topics
are offered on the Grady campus.
