About The HealthCentral Network
The HealthCentral Network, Inc. (http://www.HealthCentral.com) is one of the top health destinations on the Web, with more than 30 condition-specific, wellness and general health Web properties.
The company's unique approach offers readers extensive information and interactive resources - including news, video, and trusted medical information from Harvard Health Publications and others - and a patient-to-patient support network where community members can find and share experiences, resources and recommendations. The company also produces the nationally syndicated television show, "Medical Breakthroughs with Dr. Dean Edell," and has a library of nearly 1,000 short-form, condition-specific videos throughout its network.
By offering connections to renowned experts, a network of patients and caregivers who share "real world" experience, and in-depth information, sites in The HealthCentral Network make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients and caregivers.
The HealthCentral Network was acquired in 2005 by Polaris Venture
Partners, The Carlyle Group, Sequoia Capital, and Allen & Company, and has
a management team that combines decades of interactive media, medical and
journalism experience. CEO and President Christopher Schroeder was the CEO
and Publisher of The Washington Post Co. interactive subsidiary, and
General Manager Bill Allman led Discovery Channel's interactive division.
