The WebMD Sponsors channel has been created for the purpose of providing an information area for WebMD's strategic Sponsors. The following overview details our editorial policy for delivering Sponsor content into our site: A vast amount of valuable health information is available from many sources, including medical associations, colleges, societies, government agencies, publishers, private and nonprofit organizations, and for-profit corporations. WebMD develops strong relationships with leading healthcare information providers to deliver the most comprehensive, credible, reliable, and relevant medical information. WebMD has developed a Sponsor area for health information that does not originate from the WebMD National News Center. Sponsor content and information will be delivered to appropriate and visibly-identified areas throughout WebMD. WebMD believes that the information provided by its Sponsors is of benefit to our users and is of the highest quality, providing unique insight into the Sponsor's area of medical expertise. WebMD Sponsors information has been created with both a commercial purpose and a goodwill intent to the public. All Sponsor content on WebMD is well-defined and documented and displayed in a highly visible fashion so that a WebMD user should not confuse Sponsor content with WebMD editorial information and daily news. Furthermore, WebMD users will know that content has originated from a Sponsor before they access such content. WebMD Sponsors agree that their information has been reviewed for accuracy by medical professionals, is kept up-to-date with mandatory periodic reviews, and is delivered to WebMD on a timely basis. WebMD makes every effort to clearly date and attribute content to its original source and review date.
