Dear users,
Over the next few months, PhillyHealthInfo.org will be evolving into a new Consumer Health section, hosted on the College of Physicians of Philadelphia website. By featuring the most visited and useful content from PhillyHealthInfo.org in this new way, we can better highlight the relationship between this content and the College’s many activities and programs, with a special emphasis on incorporating the collections our world-famous Mütter Museum and Historical Medical Library. It’s been an extremely rewarding experience producing PhillyHealthInfo.org over the last 8 years and bringing our region much-needed access to health information will remain an essential mission for the College.
In addition, health content targeted specifically for youth will be the focus of our new WhatstheMutter.org site. WhatstheMutter.org will allow the College to highlight the work of our many youth-focused programs, including the Karabots Junior Fellows and the Cephalon Summer Internship.
As part of this transition, we will debut a brand new WhatstheMutter.org email newsletter with a new subscriber list in 2012. To join, please click here.
Sincerely,
The College of Physicians of Philadelphia
