The Health Journal Story


The Health Journal began in 2005 in Williamsburg, Va. A local family shared a vision for a free, consumer health publication that would point readers to health resources, introduce them to inspiring people in their community, feature health advice from leading local experts and help readers improve their health every day. A family business was born.

The Williamsburg edition was well received and by January 2007 the company was ready to expand to the rest of Hampton Roads and now covers the entire Peninsula and Southside, sharing stories of interest and awe throughout the region.

The Health Journal’s coverage area has expanded but the original vision has not changed. Now in its 10th year of publishing, The Health Journal continues to set the standard on local health news coverage in the Hampton Roads area.
