Transparency

Transparency is essential for providers of medical information so that it is as free from bias as possible. This is empowering and provides everyone the ability to make the best informed health care decision for themselves and their families. We recommend that when searching for medical information, one looks carefully to see if this is funded or supported by outside companies that may seek to influence medical professionals or patient advocates. To that end, our organization does not accept any funding from medical or surgical device manufacturers or pharmaceutical companies.
