Healthwise is a nonprofit organization founded in 1975 with a mission to help people make better health decisions. More than 111 million times a year, people turn to Healthwise information to learn how to do more for themselves, ask for the care they need, and say "no" to the care they don't need. Healthwise partners with health plans, hospitals, disease management companies, and health Web sites to provide up-to-date, evidence-based health information to the people they serve. Healthwise is leading a major change in health care to prescribe information therapy (Ix) to patients as part of every health care encounter.
