WEBMD HEALTH CORP. New York, New York; Operator Of Medical Web Site Enjoys Healthy Return On Investments.(THE NEW AMERICA)
Byline: ALAN R. ELLIOTT
The odd ironies of aging. Grandparents, parents and siblings die. The causes of their deaths reveal clues to genetic weaknesses in family members who survive.
Modern medical science says those clues, used properly, can help guide survivors to longer, fuller lives.
So Americans are studying up. They're mapping out their risk factors for heart disease, stroke, cancers and other threats. The most-worked tool in that process: the Internet.
The trend has launched countless Web-based health and medical sites. One of the elders in that group is WebMD.
"We are the largest health information site on the Web," said president and chief executive Wayne Gattinella. "We are six times the size of Yahoo Health in terms of monthly visitors, and eight times the size of MSN Health."
WebMD runs four basic businesses. Three of those -- its public Web site, its Web site for physicians and its private portal services -- brought in 84% of the firm's $119.8 million in 2005 revenue through September.
