The HealthCentral Network Adds New Hope Media's ADDitudemag.com to its Premier
Network of High Quality Sites

 


ARLINGTON, Va., April 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The HealthCentral Network,
Inc. (www.healthcentral.com) announced today that New Hope Media's
ADDitudemag.com, a top information resource for people living with ADHD and
learning disorders, is joining its network of highly targeted and quality
healthcare sites.

The companies will collaborate on both content and ad representation.
ADDitudemag.com will work with HealthCentral's ADHDCentral.com, licensing
content and tools with the goal of providing the best Web resources to
children with ADHD, their parents, and adults with ADHD. HealthCentral will
provide exclusive pharmaceutical ad representation on ADDitudemag.com through
2008.

ADDitudemag.com will also license HealthCentral's CareCentral application
(www.carecentral.com) to offer help coordinating caregiving activities and
medical appointments for those coping with ADHD.

"HealthCentral is building a unique approach to the ad network -- not size for
size's stake, but rather aggregating the highest-quality, most-engaged, most
action-oriented audiences of health consumers and delivering to them the
highest value, most relevant ad propositions," said Chris Schroeder, CEO and
President of The HealthCentral Network.  "The agreement with ADDitudemag.com
is a perfect example of two highly targeted properties about a disease
condition coming together to create something much larger and synergistic for
both parties."
"ADDitudemag.com is excited about working with HealthCentral," said Susan
Caughman, President and CEO of New Hope Media. "It has showed a real
commitment to quality content, and its creativity, flexibility and
attentiveness to helping us build our brand presence set it apart. We believe
working together on content, commerce and community will enable both of us to
grow."
