Editorial Policy

Last updated: November 8th, 2025

At Atlas Health, we are dedicated to providing clear, accurate, and trustworthy information about preventive healthcare and health screenings.

Our mission is to empower readers with knowledge, not to diagnose, treat, or prescribe.

We believe that reliable information helps people make better health decisions in collaboration with their medical professionals.

1. Our Editorial Mission

Atlas Health exists to make preventive healthcare information accessible and easy to understand for everyone.

Our editorial goal is to present fact-based, balanced, and non-promotional content about health screenings, diseases, and wellness topics relevant to individuals in the United States.

We strive to:

  • Explain medical and screening topics in plain language
  • Cite credible, evidence-based sources
  • Avoid jargon, fear-based language, or exaggerated claims
  • Encourage readers to consult qualified healthcare providers for personalized advice

Our content is for educational purposes only and should never replace consultation with a licensed medical professional.

2. Content Creation Process

Our editorial process follows three key stages:

  1. Research & Source Review
    • Each article is written using information from trusted, authoritative sources such as:
      • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
      • The National Institutes of Health (NIH)
      • The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
      • Professional medical associations (e.g., American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association)
    • We avoid unverified studies, anecdotal claims, or commercial bias.
  2. Writing & Review
    • Articles are written by experienced content editors and fact-checked for accuracy, clarity, and neutrality.
    • When possible, we consult or reference credentialed healthcare professionals and publicly available guidelines.
  3. Update & Maintenance
    • Medical and screening recommendations evolve. We review and update content regularly — at least annually or when new guidelines are released.
    • Each article includes a “Last Updated” date for transparency.

3. Accuracy and Transparency

We make every effort to ensure that our content is accurate, evidence-based, and up to date.

We also disclose the publication or revision date at the top or bottom of each article to help readers understand when it was last reviewed.

4. Independence and Integrity

Atlas Health maintains full editorial independence.

Our content decisions are made by our editorial team and are not influenced by advertisers, affiliates, sponsors, or external partners.

  • Sponsored or affiliate content, when present, will always be clearly labeled (e.g., “Sponsored,” “Advertisement,” or “Affiliate Link”).
  • We do not accept compensation in exchange for positive coverage or preferential placement.
  • Our affiliate partnerships never influence which topics we cover or how we present medical information.

5. Affiliate and Commercial Disclosure

Atlas Health may include affiliate links or partnerships with third-party health screening providers.

When readers click an affiliate link and complete an action (e.g., booking a screening or purchasing a service), we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to the reader.

These relationships help fund the continued operation of Atlas Health, but they do not influence our editorial content or recommendations.

We always prioritize accuracy and objectivity over commercial interest.

6. Medical Disclaimer

While our articles are based on reliable sources and expert input, Atlas Health is not a medical institution, and our authors are not providing individualized medical advice.

The information on this Site is intended for general educational purposes only.
Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider for questions regarding a medical condition, diagnosis, or treatment.

8. Our Promise to Readers

Atlas Health is built on transparency, respect, and integrity.
We promise to:

  • Prioritize accuracy and clarity
  • Cite reputable sources
  • Disclose conflicts of interest and sponsorships
  • Encourage informed, responsible health decisions
  • Treat every topic with empathy and respect for those affected

We believe that preventive healthcare information should empower — not intimidate — our readers.
