3. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
http://www.dhhs.govThe U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is an umbrella organization of the U.S. federal government, and as such provides a rich source of timely health-related information from a wide variety of federal agencies. Available information ranges from news releases to speeches to testimony before the Senate or Congress, as well as program updates and abstracts or full text of reports and research. The site is deep, but well organized, with straightforward links to agencies including the Administration on Aging, the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, the Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, the Health Care Financing Administration (responsible for both Medicare and Medicaid), the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the National Institutes of Health.
