About this Web Site
The MCWCHARTS Web site was created to help consumers and patients access reliable health information on the World Wide Web. It was created as part of a grant project called, "Students as Facilitators for Consumer/Patient Access to Quality Internet Health Information." Funding came from Advancing Healthier Wisconsin (AHW).
