Healthcare web portal and medical web design agency Medical Web Experts is announcing their partnership with How2Connect.com – an online provider of therapeutic services that promotes health, wellness and community. Medical Web Experts has developed a unique online patient web portal custom-built for wellness, and it will allow users to communicate securely with licensed clinicians as well as learn new techniques for improving their health.

“How2Connect.com's groundbreaking approach to behavioral healthcare – paired with our advanced portal technology – is a perfect combination for effective healthcare delivery in the internet age,” says John Deutsch, CEO and founder of Medical Web Experts.

How2Connect.com is a new therapeutic and social networking site that allows users to connect and get behavioral health services all at affordable prices while using the anonymity of the internet. Members are able to seek behavioral health therapy, explore questions in spirituality, and improve their health and wellness with advice from real medical professionals. Users can use the site as a viable resource to improve their health and gain balance in their lives through the robust Wellness area, which features the Medical Web Experts Patient Portal. Experienced in medical practice and hospital patient portal design, this new wellness portal will allow patients to log in over a secure, HIPAA-compatible connection and communicate directly with medical staff to ask questions and find new solutions to improve their health.

“We needed genuine experts to help us realize our vision and that is exactly what we found with the aptly named Medical Web Experts,” said Tracy Wood, President of How2Connect.com. “Bringing affordable therapeutic healthcare services plus a rich social networking experience to people who might otherwise not have access to what they really need is a tremendous reward in itself, but the frosting on the cake has been this collaboration with true professionals,” she said.

Selected due to its customizability and advanced medical records integration system, the portal also allows users communicate their health needs to their online wellness coach as well as incorporating online medical records. The portal allows for video eConsultations and secure messaging with medical staff; Health Tracker software to keep track of vital signs or weight loss; interactive education resources and more. Users of How2Connect.com will also enjoy weight loss help; men’s and women’s wellness resources; recipes and nutrition education; and spiritual guidance to help find both mental and physical balance in their lives.

“I see a tremendous amount of opportunity in this partnership,” adds Deutsch. “Patients are putting additional importance on wellness and spiritual well-being as a form of preventive medicine.” The Medical Web Experts Patient Portal helps How2Connect incorporate spiritual, social, mental and physical health and offers users a new way to enrich their lives through an interactive online community.
