This resource list of websites is intended to be built by the users. It is the people who actually deal with particular issues who are best to advise what information is most helpful. Therefore, we invite you to submit websites that you think would be helpful to Canadians looking for health care solutions. Please send your suggestions to our email address: info@findinghealthcare.ca
We begin our resource list with orthopaedics, the most common health care issue facing Canadians. Also included in this early list is a national website on pain. We look forward to building this resource bank with you.
