History
HealthBoards was founded by site owner and current President/CEO Chuck Simmons. In 1997, after experiencing a variety of symptoms for which doctors had no explanation, Simmons turned to the Web for answers and support. When he did not find online support groups in the areas he needed, he decided to develop a health support site covering a wide range of health topics. After a year of development, the site launched with 70 message boards. By 2000, the site had grown to over 90 boards. Since then, the site has experienced steady growth.
