We Value Diversity and Inclusion

As a health brand that reaches more than 38 million readers per month, Verywell has the power and responsibility to create positive change. We have pledged to recruit and amplify Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) contributors across Verywell. At Verywell, we work with Dotdash Meredith's Anti-Bias Review Board to create inclusive content and set standards for how to answer health questions without perpetuating bias, prejudice, and stereotypes. The Anti-Bias Review Board is a multi-disciplinary panel of experts that works with our writers and editors on content initiatives. Since its creation in 2020, panelists on the expert board have contributed to new series like the Health Divide, audited content, and identified places where Verywell can make editorial changes to answer readers' questions better. We have more work ahead of us to unlearn practices that haven't served all readers. In the coming years, we will take on new content initiatives, partnerships, and editorial standards that make our content more inclusive. Verywell also works with the Anti-Bias Review Board through the Anti-Racism Pledge process.

We are committed to telling readers when there is an error in an article, and to fixing it. When we discover an error, we will correct the article as quickly as possible and add a correction note. All corrections will be clearly labeled, dated, and include information about what was corrected. If you believe we have published a factual error in any of our content, please let us know and we will investigate and take appropriate corrective and/or updating measures. You can report a possible error by emailing us at corrections@dotdashmdp.com. Verywell Health is committed to independent, impartial, fair journalism. Our editorial content is not influenced by our advertisers.
