April Fool’s! 😉

Not all health information online is accurate, even when it’s popular.

Before you share or believe what you see online:
- Ask questions
- Check the source
- Talk to a trusted health provider

PCNs and your primary care provider are credible sources that can help you navigate health information. They can answer your questions about different claims with your personal medical history in mind and refer you to appropriate support!
