An
Exciting Project with the National Library of Medicine Here’s how it would work: Let’s say that you are searching the MedlinePlus Web site for information on diabetes. In addition to the many articles, references, illustrations, photos, and subject listings available from MedlinePlus, there is also a link on the diabetes front page to resources here in Southern California. For instance, for diabetes, you will have access to local Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Endocrinology, Pediatrics and Pediatric Endocrinology physicians, in addition to community clinics, private clinics, hospitals and pharmacies. Once you provide either your zip code or your exact address, you’ll have quick access to the closest providers of these services… including maps and directions to those providers.
