History[edit]
MedPage Today was founded in 2004 by CEO, Robert Stern. In March of 2005, MedPage began providing original health content to CNN.com. MedPage Today stories were a regular part of the CNN.com Health section for the next 15 months. MedPage Today also wrote a weekly Journal wrapup for CNN.com. At around the same time, MedPage Today also provided contextual medical news stories to the MSNBC.com Health News section. In mid 2006, MedPage Today, decided to focus strictly on the healthcare professional market. Recently, in June 2008, the company has added minute-long "60-Second Video Update" news segments to its website that are updated on weekdays, as well as a Facebook application tracking breaking medical news through an rss feed. Both provide links back to recent news articles on the MedPage site.
