About Us Everyday Health

Wellness Inspired Wellness Enabled

Our goal is to inspire and enable you to live your healthiest life every day. That’s not an easy task when we’re all bombarded with health information at every turn — information that could be exaggerated, misleading, or inaccurate. How can anyone know where to place their trust?

Health Information You Can Trust

This is where Everyday Health comes in. We understand that when it comes to something as important as your health, there is no room for error. We strive to cut through the “health noise” to deliver trusted, evidence-based health and medical information that you can rely on. Every article, guide, resource, and tool we create is backed by the nation’s top healthcare professionals, trusted partners, and patient advocates, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy, credibility, and objectivity.

For more than 20 years, we’ve been committed to providing trusted health content that puts you first, so you can make informed decisions that support the health and well-being of yourself and your loved ones, from managing care with your doctor to making everyday self-care and wellness choices. Whether you're facing a new diagnosis, receiving treatment, living with a chronic condition, or making everyday choices to stay well, we take a whole-person approach, offering easy-to-understand, practical, and expert-backed insights for every stage of your wellness journey.

When it comes to your health, accuracy, trust, and authenticity matter, and you deserve nothing less.

Members of our Health Expert Network (HEN) review all medical facts in our content, ensuring the information is accurate and up to date while providing context for complex health topics. For articles that don’t require a medical review, our experienced team of fact-checkers verify that all data, claims, titles, and names are accurate.

Medical Expert Reviews

We've also partnered with leading universities, established health systems, respected professional networks, and impactful advocacy organizations, creating a vast network of Trusted Health Resources. This collaborative approach guarantees that our coverage is grounded in the most current and credible information available.
