Really Simple Syndication

What Is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based content format that allows websites to syndicate (share) news and news-like content.

Software called news aggregators (or readers) can be used to download, organize, and read RSS feeds. A news aggregator can be a useful tool to help you keep up with the latest news from multiple different websites in one place. There are many free and commercial aggregators available for download.

Our RSS Feeds

DukeHealth.org currently offers multiple RSS feeds ranging from news items to advice for parents. Below is the list of current RSS feeds available.

• News
