WebMD is a medical and wellness information service, primarily known for its public internet site, which provides health information, a symptom checklist, pharmacy information, a place to store personal medical information, and an online community with over 140 moderated expert-led and peer-to-peer message boards.[1] The site is reported to receive over 40 million hits each month[1] [1] and is the leading health portal in the nation according to comScore Media Metrix.
WebMD also offers services to physicians and private clients. For example, they publish WebMD the Magazine, a patient-directed publication distributed bimonthly to 85 percent of physician waiting rooms.[citation needed].
