History

HealthCentral was founded by an emergency department doctor in 1999.[2] The company was later acquired by a group of venture investors in 2005. Initial investments were made from Polaris Venture Partners,[3] Sequoia Capital,[4] The Carlyle Group,[5] and Allen & Company.

InterActiveCorp made a significant minority investment in the company in 2008,[6] and the initial group of investors joined in the round of funding to reinvest in HealthCentral. Later that year, the company bought HIV/AIDS websites TheBody.com and TheBodyPro.com.[7]

In 2011, HealthCentral was acquired by Remedy Health Media, a digital health information and technology provider.[8] Within two years of the purchase, the company was recognized by Crain's New York Business as one of the Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies of 2013.[9] In 2017, Remedy Health Media was acquired by private equity firm Topspin Partners.[10]

In 2019, Remedy Health Media purchased clinician-oriented Vertical Health, incorporating multiple patient and professional health websites into the company's portfolio.[11] The following year, the company acquired Oncology Business Review, an oncology-focused digital media company,[12] and PatientPower.info, a consumer-focused cancer patient network.[13]

Amulet Capital Partners, a private equity firm focused on healthcare, acquired Remedy Health Media in 2021.[14] The company appointed Steve Zatz, M.D.,as chairman and CEO in September 2022.[15] In June 2023, Remedy Health Media was renamed HealthCentral Corporation after its flagship digital brand.[16] In November 2023, the company launched MedCentral.com, a medical website geared toward physicians and other health care professionals who care for patients with chronic and serious illness.[17]
