Are there health differences between people of various ethnic groups? Experts are now agreeing that yes there are. Do you know what these differences are? If you are not sure, this is a great month to visit NetWellness. NetWellness's African American Health Center in particular discusses many of the diseases to which African Americans are more susceptible. Learn what some of these are and what can be done to protect against some of the more common diseases.
NetWellness provides web links to sites that provide high quality health information. Sites are evaluated by NetWellness experts using a rigorous set of criteria. This is a continuing process of review and evaluation. With this month's focus on African American health two new web links have been added to the list in the African American Health Center area of NetWellness. When you are looking for health information doesn't forget our expert reviewed web links.

Our experts, Kenneth Davis, Jr., MD, Assistant Dean for Medical Education and Professor of Surgery and Clinical Anesthesia and Benita Jackson, MD, Associate Dean for Community Affairs in the College of Medicine, will answer your questions and our web links can provide further information and places to go for help.
