WASHINGTON
, June 18, 2007 – RevolutionHealth.com, a free onlinehealth and medical Web site that combines expert content and online tools with the power of social networking, today announced its first online health fair to be held on June 18-30, 2007.Revolution Health is partnering with 10 national nonprofit organizations including the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) who are participating with an online “booth” at the Health Fair and for every visitor to their booth Revolution Health will make a donation to that partner for a total of up to $10,000.
Continuing with their mission to bring the focus of health care back on consumers, RevolutionHealth.com has assembled experts from these nationally recognized nonprofit organizations to provide engaging information to consumers on specific major illnesses, including the warning signs, prevention information when applicable and steps to take to if one is diagnosed – all online, for free and without having to leave the comfort of one’s home or office.
Experts from the NFCA include CNN Newsroom Anchor Heidi Collins, NFCA Chef Spokesman Edgar Steele, Executive Director Alice Bast and Dr. Anthony Di Marino, Division Director of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at ThomasJeffersonUniversityHospital.
“RevolutionHealth.com’s online health fair is part of our broader mission to lead the health care industry in a better direction by focusing on the consumer and ensuring they have the best tools and reliable information they need to live healthier,” said Steve Case, Revolution Health chairman and CEO.“While consumers have access to a lot of information, we’re making sure that they have access to meaningful, actionable information from the best experts for free.”
Bringing convenience to the traditional health exposition model, RevolutionHealth.com’s online health fair features information you can use from its nationally-known nonprofit partners:
RevolutionHealth.com is also hosting two booths at the online health fair:Mom’s Essential, which provides online tools to expectant parents, and KnowYourRiskTM, which helps people calculate their risk for heart attack, stroke and diabetes, three of the most common diseases.
