Do Online Communities Make Us Healthier?

Mar 11, 2018

11:00am – 12:00pm CT

As online health communities grow, they are providing answers and insight that go beyond medical care and treatments. The relationships and connections that spring from online health communities contribute to health and well-being in ways not found elsewhere.
