MedicineNet.com, a privately held Internet provider of proprietary, 100% doctor-produced healthcare information (www.MedicineNet.com), announced today that it has signed a contract with Veritas Medicine (www.veritasmedicine.com), a comprehensive online clinical trials and treatment resource. The contract provides MedicineNet.com site visitors with access to Veritas Medicine's secure, contextualized database that confidentially matches patients for consideration with appropriate clinical trials.

Developed by physicians who are clinician-scientists in their respective areas of medicine, the Veritas Medicine site offers comprehensive clinical trials and treatment options for over 40 serious, chronic medical conditions.

Veritas Medicine chose MedicineNet.com as their recognized partner "to expand access to our online clinical trial resource," said Dr. Joseph Avellone, CEO of Veritas Medicine. "The partnership also aligns Veritas Medicine with additional sources of physician-authored, content-rich, disease-specific information that people can trust. By combining our two resources, we help potentially thousands of patients who seek informed decisions about participating in medical research."

Convenient Access to Trials Info/Participation
The new agreement adds value and convenience for MedicineNet.com viewers seeking the most advanced healthcare information, and expands Veritas' prospective participant base. This base includes clinical trials and treatment options for conditions including breast cancer, diabetes, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer's and rheumatoid arthritis.

Kathy Cobb, Vice President of Business Development for MedicineNet.com, said "We're always looking for new ways to bring reliable health information and services to consumers. The clinical trials matching tool is available on selected disease-specific areas now, with more to be added in the near future."
