History:
GetWell was created in 1998 with the internet in mind, in an effort to offer "screened" medical resources. The founder felt that with the wide access of information through the use of the internet, consumers may be taken by advertisers rather than researched information. Also the mass of resources was getting overwhelming and discouraging. GetWell is also involved in a number of activities where it felt there were unmet needs in the medical area, such as during the 911 catastrophe or now in an effort to decrease health care cost of undiagnosed domestic abuse by the medical profession.
