The National Sleep Foundation has joined the Revolution Health Fair, (http://www.revolutionhealth.com/healthfair) an online event launched in partnership with 10 national nonprofit organizations who each host a virtual "booth."

ABOUT REVOLUTION HEALTH:

Revolution Health (http://www.revolutionhealth.com) is the new health resource website founded by Steve Case, partly because of the difficulties he and his family faced during his brother's battle with brain cancer.

Revolution wants to highlight its ability to aggregate and share critical information on health issues by providing new information and contact with health leaders in relevant disease communities.

One great asset of the site is its population of experts, including those on nutrition, diet and weight loss, drawn from major academic institutions across the country, including Columbia, Harvard, Cleveland Clinic, the University of California at San Francisco, the University of Southern California, Johns Hopkins, Memorial Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson, and more
