I wrote to thank Kristina for forwarding all the evaluated sites and sent her this info - she encouraged me to post it to the listserv.
 Thank you for your posting of easy-to-read sites.

Wanted to point you to the large collection of our patient ed print materials on the Internet.  These are all at or below 8th grade reading level.  Most are general information - not specific to treatment at this medical institution.

Here's the direct address:
http://www.osumedcenter.edu/health_wellness/health_education/health_information.asp

It is accessible through the Ohio State University web site, but more easily through the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital Web site:

  Choose patient information

We are working on implementation of a search engine for our Pt. Ed. mats on the Internet.  We currently have excellent search engine for our Intranet posting of our materials.

Hope this is helpful,
