Toll-Free Numbers for Health Information
These selected toll-free numbers for organizations provide health-related information, education, and support. These organizations do NOT diagnose or recommend treatment for any disease. Some of the organizations use recorded messages; others provide personalized counseling and referrals. Most offer educational materials; some charge handling fees.
Organizations that provide crisis assistance are listed under the heading, Crisis Intervention. The Rare Disorders category includes diseases and disorders that affect less than 1 percent of the population at any given time. Groups in the Professional Organizations section offer consumer information.
Unless otherwise stated, numbers listed are eastern standard time and can be reached within the continental United States 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
