Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior Joins Healthcare Blogger Code of Ethics Network
Great news for RA Warrior
There was something good in my e-mail box yesterday. I was thrilled to learn that RA Warrior was approved as a new member of Healthcare Blogger Code of Ethics. The code was established in 2007 to provide bloggers and readers with clear standards in five specific areas:
- Perspective: The blog author’s perspective should be clearly established…
- Confidentiality: Patient identity is respected…
- Disclosure: Bloggers must clearly disclose whether they are paid to pitch products…
- Reliability: Sources for information should be cited…
- Courtesy: Personal attacks should not be permitted…
Benefits of Healthcare Blogger Code of Ethics
From their website:
- To give the readers of a medical blogger a clear idea of the standards by which the blog is maintained.
- To give bloggers (especially anonymous ones) a clear set of guidelines they can show employers, patients, or other concerned parties as to the nature of the blogging.
Thanks Healthcare Blogger Code of Ethics!
We are grateful to the team at HBCE and other members who do their best to make healthcare blogs a valuable resource for patients, caregivers, and others interested in fighting specific medical conditions or improving healthcare generally. RA Warrior is proud to display the HBCE logo in the sidebar. I am committed to working hard to maintain the standards promoted by the Code.

Congratulations, Kelly on a job well done. I look forward to reading your posts.
Thank you so much, Doreen.
CONGRATULATIONS!! On a job well done! Since I stumbled on your site 2 weeks ago, I have referred you to many people – especially those just being diagnosed. Your site is a great source of information, compact and easy to read – not a bunch of medical terms and are overwhelming when just being diagnosed and having so much to learn anyway! God Bless you – Today and Always!!
Thank you for spreading the word, Krista!
Congratulations! Great news…..proud of your good work
Congratulations! I’ve considered going that route. Was the process easy?
Hi Warm,
“Was it easy?” Yes and no:
Filling out a form is easy. Waiting a few weeks for the approval is easy. Pasting in the badge was easy…
However, doing the work to make this blog solid & functional is the hardest work I’ve ever done in my life.
Congrats Kelly and let me add this webpage who is becoming huge on the movement of RA, Lupus, all autoimmunes, they look really sharp and are raising funds.
Congratulations Kelly! It is very well deserved. This website is a great support to those of us with RA. I really appreciate all your hard work and effort on keeping this such an informative and helpful place to turn to.
CONGRATULATIONS!! VERY impressive!!
