There are thousands of online communities. But how many actually feel like sitting around a tailgate after work? That's what I wanted. Real conversations. Real encouragement. Real people. Built Not Born isn't about impressing strangers. It's about finding people who understand your life because they're living it too. If you've been searching for a place where you don't have to explain yourself... Pull up a chair. We'd be glad to have you.

Tons of value - just some of the plain-language resources available are listed below. Each is a living resources, that expands as we learn in the community, together.

For this AMA Saturday, Ask Lynne is going to start by asking you questions. Then you can ask me anything that comes to your mind! Have you ever left a doctors appointment and thought, "darn, don't think I really understand this?" I wonder what orange colouring on my PET scan means for my cancer diagnosis? Has it spread? What is the best thing I can do for my daughter's fever this weekend? Is it too high? Ask Lynne will answer any and all medical questions, one way or the other. Wonder if a test is necessary and do you want to charge unnecessary things on your insurance? Is this medication going to be covered by my health plan? Ask away folks and keep in mind while you are asking. This is Ask Lynne's last free weekend. Building a huge resource library to answer your question, and using my 31 years in healthcare to answer too, a person, with ideas, questions and support! Ask Lynne: Health Educator, Ask away!
