History
MedPage Today was founded in 2004 by CEO Robert Stern. In March 2005, the site began providing original health content to CNN.com. MedPage Today stories were a regular part of the CNN.com Health section for the next 15 months. The site also wrote a weekly Journal wrapup for CNN.com. At around the same time, MedPage Today also provided contextual medical news stories to the MSNBC.com Health News section. In mid-2006, MedPage Today focused strictly on the healthcare professional market. In February 2008, MedPage Today broadcasted live video and on-demand coverage from the press conferences of the American Stroke Association's 2008 annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, and MedPage Today will continue to provide this feature, available only on their site. In June 2008, the company added a "60-Second Video Update" news broadcast that runs every weekday at 1 p.m. EST.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.”
—Ben C. Bradlee (b. 1921)
