Who We Are: Johns Hopkins Health Alerts
A brief description follows for each of the benefits of becoming a registered
user to the Johns Hopkins Health Alerts website.
Johns Hopkins Health Alerts via email
The Johns Hopkins Health Alerts site is designed to bring you the most
important news on healthy living after 50. We publish a new article
every weekday to the website. By registering, you'll be able to get all the
new articles on the topics of interest to you sent straight to your Inbox.
We cover in-depth 18 of the major medical conditions that affect people
over 50. We derive the articles and special reports published in these
free e-newsletters from our comprehensive publishing program: The Johns
Hopkins Medical Letter: Health After 50 (published monthly),
the 2 Johns Hopkins Bulletins (published quarterly), and the 15
Johns
Hopkins White Papers (published annually).
Registering for Johns Hopkins Health Alerts via email means you'll
be the first to know when we post anything new to the Johns Hopkins Health
Alerts website.
We publish a new article every weekday to the site, in roughly alphabetical
order starting with Arthritis. You will get one email per condition approximately every three weeks. You can sign up for as many free Health
Alerts delivered by email as you wish.
For those of you who just want just the headlines, you can sign
up for one alert, and you will be registered for Week in Review automatically.
Then you can edit your account to receive Week in Review every Saturday, headlines for each of the articles that week, to stay informed about all the latest news being posted to the website. You can manage all of your registrations through the PREFERENCES tab at the site.

Special Reports
Special Reports for each Health Alerts topic are posted to the site
approximately 4 times per year. These are much longer articles, roughly
1200-1500 words. As a registered user to the website, you will receive
email notices linking you to these reports every time a new one is posted
to the website.

The Comments Forums
All of the Health Alerts articles have a number of options listed at
the top in a yellow box. You can PRINT, EMAIL to a friend, MAKE COMMENTS,
or SAVE TO MY HEALTH LIBRARY (see below).
Once you are a registered user, you can log into the site with your password to comment on any Health
Alert posted to the site. You can also be alerted when others post replies to
your comments.
We hope the site will become an interactive forum where people can share their experiences freely. You will only ever be identified by your chosen user name, never by email address, so your privacy is assured. (See more about our Privacy Policy below).
If you are not sure of your password, you can visit the Password Reminder page at any time to retrieve it.

NO External Advertising
Unlike most health sites on the internet, we don't rely on advertising
revenue and blinking, flashing banners for our income. New material is published at this site every weekday, and regularly updated, not years old. We seek to provide
you with clear, unbiased, current, accurate information direct from our specialists, so you can make the most informed
choices about your health.
This site is completely free to anyone who wishes to use it.
Any 'ads' at the site and/or email newsletters are contextual mentions
of our books and periodicals for anyone wishing to go into more depth.
If you do not wish to receive 'ad-type' emails, simply click the 'unsubscribe'
button at the bottom of every 'promotional'-type email we send.
