The cost of healthcare continues to rise at a dramatic rate. We believe we have a tool to help you manage your healthcare needs. It's a service called MyOnlineHealth.

Personal Health Record
MyOnlineHealth is a secure Internet service designed to give residents, patients and consumers a way to better manage their healthcare. Even if you do not have a serious medical condition, MyOnlineHealth is a service that can benefit you. Through a secure Internet connection, participants will be able to create and manage their own personal health record. Likewise, parents will be able to create and manage their children's records.

Drug Checker
The Drug Checker allows you to search a database with up-to-date information on prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. You simply type in a drug or supplement and the information becomes available to you.

The Online Drug Checker also allows you to check for drug-to-drug and drug-to-food interactions, and highlights common allergies. You simply type in the drugs or supplements you want to know about and the database will provide pertinent information about possible interactions. For added safety, these interaction checks also occur automatically whenever you add a new drug or supplement to your medication list within MyOnlineHealth's Personal Health Record.

What could be easier? Now, if you ever have any questions about medications and how they interact, you need only go to MyOnlineHealth to get this valuable information.

Health Planner
MyOnlineHealth is a wonderful resource for you to learn to live a healthier, more productive life. One way you can manage your health is to have a better sense of what your health status is currently. That's where MyOnlineHealth's Health Planner comes in.

By taking you, step by step, through a series of questions aimed at assessing your family's history and your own health habits and conditions, the Health Planner provides you with information you can use to better manage your health.

You can even use the information as a discussion tool with your primary care doctor!

Health Information Center
You will also have access to a large library of clinical information and helpful tools online from a resource you know and trust; your local healthcare provider. MyOnlineHealth is a consolidated resource for a wide array of health related information, including everything from healthy travel tips, to how to recognize symptoms of a heart attack, to information and alerts on drug-drug interactions. Your doctor may also be able to send you personalized information and news on any condition you or a family member are being treated for… automatically. New discoveries are happening everyday.
