At WEGO Health, our expert health researchers and volunteer community work together to find and rate the best health content on the Web.
Our researchers spend hours scanning the Web for the most promising content. With a collection of links in hand, they then score each link using our unique WEGO Health Scorecard. Only the best-scoring content is used to build WEGO Health pages.
These pages are then reviewed and rated by the WEGO volunteer community as well as by anyone visiting the site. Volunteer reviewers and site visitors rate WEGO Health pages on a 1-5 scale and can add comments.
