All stories on HealthAngle are reviewed by a doctor before they are published. Edits may be made for accuracy.

Medical information has the potential for significant impact on a person’s life. Shared experiences have the potential to influence in a bad as well as good way. We therefore believe this information needs to be held to a higher standard than other types of communication.

HealthAngle sorts through all stories and organizes and edits each one so that they adhere to the following principles:

Helpful. At the very least, information should “do no harm.” At its best, it should complement other sources. We review all stories to ensure the information published on HealthAngle has the potential to be useful to other people, in addition to relating individual experiences.

Accessible. Our staff edits all stories for style and content so the ideas are clear and understandable.

Actionable. In order to help readers act on the information found on HealthAngle, our editorial and medical staffs edit each story and highlight the relevant details. Our goal is to help decrease stress around health procedures, improve communications with healthcare providers and help improve medical outcomes overall.
