Our Mission

Welcome to enBloom, a blog devoted to improving the health & science literacy of all people. In this 21st century, we marvel at the ability of science and technology to have an impact upon our health in ways never imagined. Yet, we realize that know-how and ability does not always seamlessly translate into maximizing your health and well-being. We are here to help you navigate the abundance of health information available thanks to the Internet in its current incarnation. It is responsible for the emergence of Health 2.0, MedicineX, TEDMED and social health. More importantly, we want to assist you in translating that information into something meaningful so you can get the most out of the American health care system. By focusing on topic areas in science literacy & learning, biomedical research, wellness, prevention, treatment, health policy and bioethics; this blog will to aid you in cultivating a body, a mind, and a spirit enBloom!

We seek to:

  • Improve the health literacy of all people
  • Provide a road map to credible health information resources online including those available through the Department of Health and Human Services websites
  • Enhance and enrich dialog between patients and their physicians or other health care providers.

  • Reader Rave Reviews

    "very insightful" ~ Cliff Bellamy, Book & Entertainment Editor of The Herald Sun
    "Guns can end lives, but they can’t kill spirits. Now I find that a single bullet could not silence his voice." ~ H. Beverly Crawford of Los Angeles, CA
    "The book is exquisite...[t]he pieces are meaningful, in more ways than I would know.  There were three poems that especially touched me: Another Level, Eternal Passage, and I Wish I Were God." ~ Shelby Heard of Washington, DC
    "Every time I read III Gifts by Carey Hughley  I see several additional nuances that not only touch me in a profound way but also gain my respect all the more. Books can be good friends as they are extensions of the author. That's why I'm introducing anybody reading my blogs to this one." ~Robeson White, Co-Founder, Diversity in Aquatics
    "I am persuaded that Carey’s III Gifts will be as powerful in the distant future as it is in 2011...its essence comes through best when read at quiet times and the soul can better attune to its inherent beauty, spirituality and the challenges it poses all of us." ~  Walter Brown of Durham, NC
