ROCKFORD WOMAN

This health section is part of a new approach to covering health care and healthy living.

Each spring and fall, Rockford Woman produces a special section that focuses on helping you look and feel good. We’ll tap local experts and talk to women like you.

It’s all part of a larger effort, called HealthyRockford.com.

The Web site, produced by the Rockford Register Star, is a one-stop shop for local and national health information.

In addition to news, the site offers a searchable directory of health care providers, local expert advice, job listings, calendar listings, polls and content broken down for women, men and kids.

So if you have a health concern, you’ll find what you need and a local physician who can help, all in the same place.

For even more health news, read Sunday’s Life&Style section in the Rockford Register Star that features the best news and information we publish on HealthyRockford.com.

Tell us what health information you’d like to see. E-mail Mike DeDoncker, HealthyRockford.com editor, at mdedoncker@rrstar.com.
