Healthline Media was founded in 1999 as YourDoctor.com, by endocrine specialist Dr. James Norman. In 2006, the company was re-launched as Healthline Networks.

Deloitte ranked Healthline Media as one of the top 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.

In January 2016, Healthline raised $95 million in growth equity financing through Summit Partners. Under the terms of the agreement, Healthline’s media business was established as a standalone entity with David Kopp, former general manager, as CEO.

Healthline Media, Inc. acquired sister websites MedicalNewsToday.com and MediLexicon.com in May 2016. Both resources are free to use, allowing people to look up news and information on conditions, treatments, and medications, as well as meanings for acronyms and abbreviations from the fields of medicine, pharmacology, biotechnology, agrochemicals, and healthcare.

Healthline reaches consumers that want to manage their own health. It provides powerful concept-based search across 250,000 medical concepts that include diseases, conditions, causes, symptoms, diagnoses, treatments and other medically relevant attributes.
