Healthline Acquires DiabetesMine to Provide Powerful Support and Resources to Diabetes Patients
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 15, 2014 -- Healthline, a leading provider of intelligent health information and technology solutions, today announced its acquisition of DiabetesMine, a top consumer blog for the diabetes community. Content from DiabetesMine, including articles, reviews, guest posts, interviews and videos, will be integrated into Healthline.com to enhance the delivery of diabetes-specific information to the site’s more than 25 million visitors per month.
"At DiabetesMine, we are coming up on our 10th anniversary as a 'diabetes newspaper with a personal twist' that publishes news and views daily," said Amy Tenderich, founder and editor of DiabetesMine. "We’re excited to expand our resources and reach through Healthline to continue to produce quality content with the aim of helping people affected by diabetes everywhere to live better."
DiabetesMine provides encouragement and empowerment to the diabetes community by providing useful information to help them better manage the disease and improve life with diabetes. The site also aims to drive diabetes innovation through its DiabetesMine Innovation Project, which includes an Annual Innovation Summit, D-Data ExChange Forums, Patient Voices Contest and Test Kitchen, among other patient-driven initiatives. DiabetesMine has been recognized as one of the World’s Top Blogs on Health and Medicine by Healthcare100.com, as well as the nation’s No. 1 diabetes influencer site by ShareCare.com and the American Diabetes Association.
"One of Healthline.com’s goals is to deliver health information that educates, engages and inspires people to get healthier. We animate this mission in our condition-specific communities in social channels, facilitating conversations about health and engaging with relevant and meaningful content," said David Kopp, general manager of Healthline.com. "Combining our passion for health education and quality content from the two sites will provide an even more powerful resource for the diabetes community."
"DiabetesMine fits in with Healthline’s mission perfectly," added Dean Stephens, CEO of Healthline.
