About us
TalkAboutHealth is on a mission to improve and personalize patient education and support.
TalkAboutHealth is where patients and caregivers get personalized, helpful, and accurate health answers and support from leading medical professionals and trained peer survivors.
Treatment is becoming more individualized, and health education and support must become more individualized as well. Patients need personalized answers and support to understand their health situation, make the right decisions, and know they are not alone.
We are a welcoming and caring community that has come together to meet, share, and learn with each other. We welcome patients, families, caregivers, survivors, professionals, and organizations. All members are encouraged to share their unique knowledge and experiences. The more we share, the more people we help.
What makes us different:
1) Personalized, helpful, and accurate health answers. Every question on TalkAboutHealth should be the best resource possible, covering all points of view and perspectives. To accomplish this goal, we find and notify the right people to answer questions. Patients receive answers directly from experts on the latest developments in surgery, oncology, psychiatry, screening, prevention, and more. We then curate and organize questions and answers to make them easy to find and accessible to everyone.
2) The right information to the right people, at the right time. We match answers and information to the people who need them, based on their disease, stage, treatments, side effects, and more. We notify members of answers to their questions and other relevant information via e-mail, Facebook, and Twitter.
3) Connect the right people to support each other. We match patients and caregivers with experienced peers, survivors, and experts who can help. Members are matched based on their disease, stage, treatments, cultural background, demographics, and more.
Our vision
A world where all patients, caregivers, and medical professionals have access to the health support they need, when they need it.

Message from our founder: Murray Jones
I was inspired to start TalkAboutHealth while my father was going through treatment for melanoma. It was a difficult and emotional period where we had many decisions to make in a limited amount of time. We felt alone and confused. There was too much information available and we did not know what was relevant or significant.
There are 12 million survivors in the United States and 1.6 million new cases in 2012. All of these patients need support and education. That is why TalkAboutHealth is here. Our goal is to improve outcomes by helping patients find the right information, communicate better with their providers expressing their needs and desires, and feel confident in their decisions.
