Editorial & Sponsorship Policy

The NBC Digital Health Network is committed to providing credible, objective, and reliable health content on a wide range of health topics that impact your health and wellness and that of your family. Topics, which include various diseases and conditions as well as ways to live a healthier life, are derived from relevant medical news and studies published in top tier medical journals or presented at professional medical meetings.

The library of articles and videos is created by the NBC Digital Health Network editorial staff, which includes physicians, nurses, professional medical journalists and producers, in collaboration with the nation's leading medical experts. All content receives a comprehensive review by a network of medical experts who serve as editorial directors.

The NBC Digital Health Network is a health content provider for thousands of sites across the Web. It creates and maintains complete editorial control over all the educational information it provides. The library does not accept content from outside advertisers or promotional sponsors. In some circumstances, third parties offer to provide funding for the creation of original educational content. When a program or article is funded by a third party, it will be clearly labeled as content funded through an "Unrestricted Educational Grant" or "Educational Grant," or as a "Special Feature." The NBC Digital Health Network maintains full editorial control over all content created through third-party funding.
