Waterfront Media CEO and co-founder Benjamin Wolin will remain chief executive officer of the new company. Steve Case, chairman and CEO of Revolution Health Group, and an additional member of Revolution Health’s board of directors to be named later, will join the Waterfront Media board of directors. The company will keep the name Waterfront Media, and will operate all sites under the Everyday Health Network.
Web sites operated by or affiliated with the Revolution Health Network that complement Everyday Health will include:

• CarePages.com, offered by more than 700 hospitals to patients so they may easily communicate with loved ones; and
• Affiliate agreements with Drugstore.com, Sparkpeople.com and DailyStrength.org.
By combining, the companies will have 24 online health properties, which will offer advertisers the unique opportunity to target consumers across the entire spectrum of online health and wellness. The transaction is expected to close mid-month.
