HealthyLivingNYC Mission
As individuals, we all seek to achieve and maintain optimum health. At HealthyLivingNYC, we believe that the goal of healthy living can best be achieved by integrating positive physical, mental, social and spiritual activities into our daily lives.
In order to develop individual health and wellness, we must recognize the role that other members of our community play in creating opportunities for positive activity and interaction.
HealthyLivingNYC was launched in August 2003 with the mission of creating a network between people seeking information and opportunities for healthy living and people in the New York City community whose vocation is to provide health information and services.
The Internet has revolutionized the ability to share information on a global scale. Until recently, this global nature has limited its usefulness as a tool to connect individuals on the local level. HealthyLivingNYC is in the vanguard of a growing movement to provide intensive local search information combined with opportunities for online community building.
New York City provides unparalleled access to health restaurants and markets, gyms and spas, hospitals and clinics and many other businesses and non-profit organizations whose mission is to provide for your health. By creating a searchable directory of these organizations; providing editorial commentary and documentary reporting on their services; and allowing members of the community to rate and comment on these organizations based on their personal experience, HealthyLivingNYC seeks to bring out the often-hidden value of the local business and non-profit community.
As publishers, we seek to mediate and remove conflict between businesses and consumers by providing access to quality health information referenced and provided by credible government and third-party sources. By collecting and filtering health information from these credible sources, we seek to increase understanding of the complexity and breadth of health information so that our users can make better-informed decisions about their own health. We do not, however, provide medical advice or recommend that our users make medical decisions based on our website. Instead, we hope that our readers will use this website as a reference in seeking medical and healthcare services and advice from qualified professionals.
Unlike many other information-rich websites, we do not charge users for access to our content. HealthyLivingNYC is an advertiser-supported business. By soliciting advertisers whose mission is to provide health opportunities, we seek to align the interests of the advertiser with the goals of our users in a manner that benefits both groups. We believe that integrating the higher goals of building a healthy community with the goals of individuals as suppliers and consumers is the fastest way to achieve community health in a free-market society.
We continually strive to provide better and deeper information about healthy living in New York to our users and always welcome questions or comments from our users.
