AOL and Dr. Koop in $89 Million Alliance
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPRINGFIELD, Va. -- In a move to expand its reach, the
Internet health care site led by former Surgeon General Dr. C.
Everett Koop agreed Tuesday to pay $89 million to form an alliance
with America Online Inc., the dominant provider of Internet access.
The four-year agreement gives AOL a link to a
widely respected name in medicine and an
opportunity to buy stock in one of the most
popular Web health sites, drkoop.com. The
deal gives drkoop.com a chance to build up
advertising and electronic sales through AOL's
millions of users.
The deal between drkoop.com and AOL is not
exclusive; drkoop.com also is found on the GO
Network, owned by The Walt Disney Co.
