Maven Launches Health Network within Its Growing Coalition

Partnership brings more than 1 million monthly readers to Maven

Digital media platform Maven (ticker symbol MVEN) is partnering with OMNI Health Media to launch the Maven Health Network (mavendoctors.io), an integrated group of channels focused on health, nutrition, and fitness as well as contemporary and alternative medicine.

"We are thrilled to lead the development of Maven Health," says Dr. Charles Weaver, founder and medical editor of OMNI Health Media. "OMNI has been creating educational content and social communities for patients, doctors, advocates and leading institutions since 1997. Maven's technology allows us to better fulfill our mission of creating content, community and connections with their superior mobile app, state-of-the-art technology, and uniform ad-serving platform. With Maven, we see the opportunity to grow and keep up with the evolving marketplace."

The new network is already taking shape, with OMNI Health Media migrating its leading educational resources and communities to Maven. They are:

• TheRAConnection
• Osteoporosis & Bone Health
• Women's Health - Women Magazine
• Cancer Connect (Coming Soon)
• TheSpineCommunity (Coming Soon)
• TheGIConnection (Coming Soon)

Working with Maven, OMNI will continue building the network by recruiting and partnering with mavens in more than 40 common health condition arenas, creating stronger resources and communities around medical interests and conditions.

Weaver is a former cancer researcher, developer of the Physician Practice Management industry, and pioneer of internet-based cancer education. He received his medical training at the University of Pennsylvania, National Institutes of Health and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

"Dr. Weaver is a pioneer in the use of digital media to connect and inform patients and medical professionals, and continues his legacy of forging new paths with this partnership," says Maven CEO James Heckman. "His deep connections in the medical industry, popular online resources, and dedicated engaged audience, make him a valuable addition to the Maven community. We look forward to the increased reach and leadership he'll develop with the Maven Health Network."

Maven is a coalition of mavens operating on a shared digital publishing, advertising and distribution platform, unified under a single media brand. Based in Seattle, Maven is publicly traded under the ticker symbol MVEN.
