Home Page
The home page contains multiple links providing general information about E-health, contact information, and ways to suggest a website link.

Resources
This is the area of E-health that contains links to other websites. It is an index of health information topics. The websites are grouped according to:

  • Diseases and Illnesses -Medical Dictionary
  • Family Health -Medicines
  • Health and Wellness -Tests and Procedures
  • Herbs, Vitamins, and Supplements

Finding Health Information on E-Health
There are two ways to look up health information from the home page:

1.) Perform a search using the “Search” feature
• There is a “Search” box that appears in the upper right corner on the website. Type the topic you are searching for into the box and use the mouse to click “Go” or hit the “Enter” key on the keyboard.
• At this point, a number will appear telling you how many links are found on E-health matching the topic you are searching for.
• Use the mouse to click on any of the links to take you to the website
Note: Be sure to click on the actual website address beginning (http:www.etc) and not on the website description.
• To the right of the description is the heading “Browse Categories”. Left- click the mouse to search other topics within this resource category.

2.) Use the mouse to left-click on a topic under “Resources”
• You may use the arrow keys, the “Page Down” key, or the mouse to left-click on the bar to the right of the screen and scroll down until you can view all of the “Resource” topics.
• You can use the mouse to scroll through the topics, and may left-click on any one when it changes color to narrow your search.
• The topics are now more specific. You will see links to websites. Use the mouse to left-click on any website you want to view.
• Searching this way is more time consuming, but it will show you all of the topics within each “Resource” category.

You can return to the home page at any time by using the mouse to click on “Home” in the upper left corner of the website.
