About Cohesion Health

Cohesion Health, PSC is a Puerto Rico professional services corporation. Our motto is To make sense, and this site is where we do it in public: whenever medical news matters to people who work for a living, we publish a plain-language analysis built on primary sources.

Our source rules

• CDC, WHO and IDSA, plus official public health agencies. When a state or local health department is the official record of an outbreak, we cite it directly.
• Journals anyone can read for free, such as open-access papers and the free content of journals like NEJM. We label each source as open access.
• We paraphrase and link. We do not copy articles, and we do not cite what we could not read.

How each analysis is built

• The numbers: figures exactly as the source reports them, with the date of the data.
• What it means for your workday: clearly marked as our reading, separate from the sourced facts.
• What to do now: actions that the sources themselves support.
• How solid is this?: the type of evidence, its limits, and what we chose not to infer.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction and its date at the top of the page.

What this site is not

This is educational information, not individual medical advice, and reading it does not create a clinician–patient relationship. Talk with your own clinician about your situation. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
