What does it take to feel good, look great, and have the energy you need? To start, you've got to be healthy.

There's a lot to know about taking good care of yourself. When do you see a doctor, and when is it a waste of time? How are you supposed to handle infections, stress, and other health problems? How do you prevent them? When you have questions, this is where you can look for answers.

Is it an emergency?

If you or someone in your care has chest pains, difficulty breathing, or severe bleeding, it could be a life-threatening emergency. Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number immediately.
If you are concerned about a possible poisoning or exposure to a toxic substance, call Poison Control now at 1-800-567-8911.
