I was just made aware of this site yesterday and I checked it out. WAY COOL!
Its a medical site with the goal of bridging medicine and the deaf world. There are videos explaining a very long list of different medical conditions in ASL. They are also written in English as well for the ASL impaired.
There is also a section where you can see if there is a Deaf-friendly Dr in your area.

Welcome to DeafMD, an innovative website providing accurate, concise, and valuable health information in American Sign Language to the Deaf & Hard of Hearing population. Using health information created by two trustworthy and unbiased government sources—the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health, our team of healthcare providers, linguists, and educators translates this complex information into ASL.
Our goal is to develop an easy to use site without overwhelming advertisements. DeafMD contains 4 distinct, informative sections: Diseases & Illnesses, Understanding Tests, News, & Find a Deaf Friendly Doctor. While each section is different, each one is specifically designed to promote a better understanding and knowledge of health. Navigate to the Disease & Illness section, the Understanding Tests section, or the News section, and a video will begin to play discussing how to use each section.
