WebMD is an American corporation which publishes online news and information about human health and well-being.[3] The WebMD website also includes information about drugs and is an important healthcare information website and the most popular consumer-oriented health site.[4]
WebMD was started in 1998 by internet entrepreneur Jeff Arnold.[5] In early 1999, it was part of a three-way merger with Sapient Health Network (SHN) and Direct Medical Knowledge (DMK). SHN began in Portland, Oregon, in 1996 by Jim Kean, Bill Kelly, and Kris Nybakken, who worked together at a CD-ROM publishing firm, Creative Multimedia. Later, in 1999, WebMD merged with Healtheon, founded by Netscape Communications founder James H. Clark.[6]
