PR Newswire via NewsEdge Corporation :

WASHINGTON, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- RevolutionHealth.com, a free online health and medical web site that combines expert content and online tools with the power of social networking, today announced its first online health fair to be held on June 18-30, 2007. Revolution Health is partnering with ten national nonprofit organizations that are participating with an online "booth" at the Health Fair, and for every visitor to their booth Revolution Health will make a donation to that partner for a total of up to $10,000.

Continuing with its mission to bring the focus of health care back onto consumers, RevolutionHealth.com has assembled experts from these nationally- recognized nonprofit organizations to provide engaging information to consumers on specific major illnesses, including the warning signs, prevention information when applicable and steps to take if one is diagnosed - all online, for free and without having to leave the comfort of one's home or office.

"RevolutionHealth.com's online health fair is part of our broader mission to lead the health care industry in a better direction by ensuring consumers have the best tools and reliable information to live healthier," said Steve Case, Revolution Health chairman and CEO. "While everyone has access to a lot of information, we're providing meaningful, actionable information from the best experts for free."
