NAME OF WEBSITE

 DESCRIPTION OF WEBSITE

MedlinePlus

Fantastic site! Once in a while our government does something right. This website is a service of the U. S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. There are thousands of Adam images (I think they are the best!) in the Medical Encyclopedia section that you can use to illustrate your PowerPoints and reports. Best of all, the images already belong to all of us (supported by our tax dollars), so use them! Once on this website, go to the Health Topics link and just dig in.
