The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has crafted this excellent collection of materials for health care professionals. The materials are divided into a dozen sections, including Lung Information, Sleep Information, Interactive Tools and Resources, and Continuing Education Opportunities. The Interactive Tools and Resources area is a gem, as it includes applications for mobile devices such as a menu planner, a Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator, and an asthma mortality map. The Clinical Practice Guidelines area features reports crafted at professional development conferences that deal with cholesterol, obesity, and asthma. Additionally, the Continuing Education Opportunities area features guides to cultural competency and information about upcoming conferences and seminars.
