i have pediatric sites:

http://www.brightfutures.org/ - bright futures, a large patient and caregiver site for pediatrics at georgetown university

http://www.kidsgrowth.com/ - kids growth.com is basically a site for parents and patients. some good teaching information here.

at this page of links on the medline plus site you will find some links under "health and wellness" at the right side of the webpage toward the end. you need to click on those links to check out what is there.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics.html

if you are not familiar with the medline plus site, you should go to their home page or their site map and just check out the extensive information that is there. many times it links you to information provided by the national institute of health and the national library of medicine which our tax dollars support. there are also very good patient education materials there, videos of commonly performed surgeries and medical procedures, a medical encyclopedia and lists of organizations involved with healthcare and treatment of diseases.

Try http://www.healthypeople.gov. It's the main website for the dept of health & human services' initiative "Healthy People 2010". It has information on current health and wellness goals, and should have lots of links to information about various health promotion projects and suggestions.

Good luck,
