Not sure where to turn?
Reminder Publications has your answer - www.Health413.com.
The community newspaper you've trusted since 1962 for the best in local information just launched a Web site and searchable database at www.Health413.com designed to help you connect with the latest health information and the locally based health and fitness professionals you need to keep yourself and your family well.
With a simple click Health413.com can help you get answers to a variety of health-related questions from when you should start brushing your baby's teeth to how to find reliable care for your elderly parent.
It can also connect you to a comprehensive database of area professionals ready to help you address all of your family's health needs.
"We've always helped readers locate the local health information and professionals they needed through our weekly print publications," Dan Buendo, co-publisher of Reminder Publications, said. "Now we've taken things to the next level by creating a searchable, Web-based database and library of health information that readers can access 24/7."
Among the features of Health413 are links to useful health Web sites, such as the American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Society, American Lung Association and more, plus a listing of local support groups and helpful tools such as a menu planner, BMI and target heart rate calculators, low back pain symptom checker and child and teen immunization schedule, all categorized under the appropriate topic headings. The site map and searchable database features make it easy to locate the information you're looking for.
The Web site also includes articles written by area experts, such as Jonathan Evans, herbal specialist and co-owner of the Herbarium in Chicopee and Sheila Magalhaes, yoga expert and owner of Heartsong Yoga in East Longmeadow. And we'll be constantly updating the site to bring you more columns by local experts as well as up-to-date health information.
For local health and fitness professionals, the site offers something valuable an Internet connection to patients and clients throughout Western Massachusetts. Businesses receive a basic listing on Health413 for free. From this basic Web presence, a business can choose to upgrade their listing at affordable rates to a mini-Web site where they can post their own photo gallery, special online offers, information about their company and more. Those health and fitness professionals who choose to upgrade will also have their listing appear at the top of the appropriate categories.
If a local heath or fitness professional doesn't find his or her company listed on Health413, we invite them to contact Barb Perry at 525-6661 ext. 135 or by e-mail at BPerry@ReminderPublications.com.
"Health413 not only allows consumers to find the local professionals they need, but helps keep our Western Massachusetts economy stronger by supporting local businesses," Buendo added.
We invite you to take a look at Health413. We think you'll like what you see!
