"We are excited to service AOL's qualified health users with the information they need to live better every day," said Everyday Health CEO, Ben Wolin.  "This deal is part of an aggressive growth strategy for Everyday Health to make the greatest impact on the widest audience.  Just last month we announced our expansion into the healthcare professional market with the acquisition of MedPage Today.  We are committed to providing consumers, professionals and advertisers with the best health solutions."  

As the exclusive health destination for AOL's health condition, disease and drug content, Everyday Health will be promoted through AOL's homepage with prominent placement throughout AOL.
