RevolutionHealth.com Brings Its First Online Health Fair To Consumers Nationwide

WASHINGTON, June 18, 2007 —RevolutionHealth.com, a free online health and medical Web site that combines expert content and online tools with the power of social networking, today announced its first online health fair to be held on June 18-30, 2007. Revolution Health is partnering with 10 national nonprofit organizations including the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) who are participating with an online booth at the Health Fair and for every visitor to their booth Revolution Health will make a donation to that partner for a total of up to $10,000.

Continuing with their mission to bring the focus of health care back on consumers, RevolutionHealth.com has assembled experts from these nationally recognized nonprofit organizations to provide engaging information to consumers on specific major illnesses, including the warning signs, prevention information when applicable and steps to take to if one is diagnosed all online, for free and without having to leave the comfort of one’s home or office.

Experts from the NFCA include CNNNewsroom Anchor Heidi Collins, NFCAChef Spokesman Edgar Steele, Executive Director Alice Bast and Dr. Anthony Di Marino, Division Director of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

RevolutionHealth.com’s online health fair is part of our broader mission to lead the health care industry in a better direction by focusing on the consumer and ensuring they have the best tools and reliable information they need to live healthier, said Steve Case, Revolution Health chairman and CEO. While consumers have access to a lot of information, we’re making sure that they have access to meaningful, actionable information from the best experts for free.
