The Wiki's I have found interesting are
Wikihealth
http://www.wikihealth.com/Main_Page
I liked this wiki because it is both a health and wellness wiki. It is easy to navigate and read and the information seems to be direct but not scary, for example take a look at preparing for a Colonoscopy it tells you exactly whats going to happen, but also tells you not to worry and to look at the experience as two days away from stress and pressure!
This wiki is aimed more at the general public as it is very easy to read and as such anybody reading this wiki would have decide if the information was 100% correct as anybody can add to it.
UBC Health library wiki
http://hlwiki.slais.ubc.ca/index.php?title=Main_Page
I liked this wiki because it's a health library one and as such would suit our needs very well. The wiki team are all professionals and are based at universities. This would imply that even though anyone can add content, it would be monitored for validity and removed if not correct.
Whilst I can see the uses in both wikis the one I personally would use is the wiki health one.

The health wiki was a very interesting mix of alternative therapies and straight health information. I think this could be good combination for some people. I now know what the pigeon pose is!
Liked the UBC site, especialy the list of medical blogs.
