ARLINGTON, VA - The HealthCentral Network, Inc. (www.HealthCentral.com) today launched a comprehensive site redesign that enhances the company's unique offerings of in-depth medical information and large patient-to-patient support networks. A leader in empowering patients to take control of their healthcare management, the company has redesigned its sites to provide easier-to-use and more relevant information to people dealing with life-changing conditions.

"As a pioneer in the online health space, HealthCentral.com continues to find new ways to effectively serve the millions of patients, medical professionals, caregivers, family and friends seeking credible health information," said Chris Schroeder, CEO and President of The HealthCentral Network. "The site-wide redesign not only serves to create a more welcoming and easy-to-navigate atmosphere for those community members, but also highlights what they need most: reliable medical information and a support network that knows what they are going through and can help guide them through diagnosis and management of their conditions."

In its ongoing efforts to empower patients to take control of their health experience, HealthCentral's new sites allow users to rank content and categorize community postings by whatever topics they choose. Patients can also search the extensive recipe resource at Foodfit.com for delicious, healthy recipes that help them cope with their conditions. FoodFit was acquired by HealthCentral in 2006.

"The HealthCentral redesign makes an outstanding health resource even better," said David Mendosa, journalist and prominent HealthCentral diabetes writer. "The new sites are more visually accessible, and have a greater emphasis on the core news that people can use. Nothing goes farther to reduce the sense of isolation that so many people with life-changing conditions feel than this emphasis on information and sense of community."

To further the company's mission as a comprehensive resource for all the needs of online health seekers, HealthCentral has brought a new health product Marketplace to its sites through an agreement with HealthPricer.com, enabling its users to search a vast range of products, supplements and other items that cater to their specific conditions. The HealthCentral Network has also recently re-launched drug information center HealthSquare.com, which provides users with in-depth, up-to-the minute drug information, including dosage, side-effects warnings and possible interactions.

The HealthCentral Network, Inc. (www.healthcentral.com) is a new and unique online offering, comprised of over 30 general health and highly specific condition and wellness web properties, each committed to offering a voice in everyday and personal language people can understand and connect with at critical points in their lives. Each site provides timely, interactive, in-depth and trusted medical information (from Harvard Health among others), and connections to leading experts and thousands of people who share their related experiences and inspiration.

The HealthCentral Network recently launched personal health tools including the most comprehensive web solution for caregivers managing their communities of friends and families (www.carecentral.com). 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.

The HealthCentral Network was acquired in 2005 by Polaris Ventures, Sequoia Capital, The Carlyle Group and Allen & Company, and has built a management team that combines decades of experience in interactive media and medical, science and news journalism. The company received top recognition from The International Health and Medical Media Awards with a 2006 FREDDIE Award for MyDiabetesCentral.com and the Health Care Standard of Excellence WebAward from the Web Marketing Association.
