The Internet is full of health-related information. Some of the Web sites offer reliable information while others may be questionable. You can usually find reliable information at:
  • Sites with ".edu," which are usually produced by a major educational institution, including universities and medical schools;
  • Sites with ".gov," produced by government agencies;
  • Sites produced by hospitals, medical centers, and many reputable national health organization (American Heart Association, National Cancer Institute, etc.); and
  • Sites with ".org,", produced by nonprofit organizations (Note: Not all nonprofit organizations use the ".org" extension, so check carefully.)
Information from other sites should be reviewed carefully and discussed with your primary care provider.

The Web sites listed here provide a variety of health information. Southwest includes these links as a public service. To the best of our knowledge, these are reputable sites. However, we cannot, and do not, guarantee the accuracy of the information. As each person is unique, you should always consult with your health care provider to determine if the information provided is appropriate for you. These site addresses were valid as of 2/26/01.
