NHLBI is pleased to announce the launch of a new online health resource for
you:
The NHLBI Healthy People 2010 Gateway
at http://hp2010.nhlbihin.net/.
The Gateway provides quick, easy access to NHLBI information and resources
in four key areas related to our Institute's expertise and the Healthy
People 2010 goals -- the Federal Government's blueprint for building a
healthier Nation over the next 10 years. These are:
- Cardiovascular Health
- Asthma
- Sleep
- Minority Populations
Each area has its own portal, offering a wealth of resources to help health
professionals plan their own Healthy People activities. For example, the
portals have:
- Statistical information in easy-to-read interactive formats, such as
a CHD Mortality by Health Service Area, 1994-96 , which you can use to see how your area's health measures up.
- Descriptions of ongoing national education programs and initiatives
and innovative activity ideas
- Downloadable files of evidence-based public and professional education materials, in the public domain
- Links to professional coalitions and information exchange resources,
such as the NAEPP Asthma Coalition Exchange
- Notices of upcoming meetings, conferences, and exhibits
- Opportunities for long-distance learning with continuing education credits
- Links to popular NHLBI Web-based applications on asthma, sleep,
cholesterol, and high blood pressure, as well as to the Federal Government's
Healthy People 2010 Web site.
Also, through the Gateway you can shop online for NHLBI printed materials.
Our secure server allows you to more conveniently access and purchase from
our extensive catalog.
NHLBI hopes you will find this electronic Gateway to be a useful service. We
plan to continually add to the Gateway's offerings and welcome your feedback
and suggestions on its contents.
