NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Yext, Inc.

More than 76 million people visit WebMD each month for information and tools to support them in managing their health, and WebMD Care and Vitals consumer platforms generate more than 10 million visits per month from people searching for healthcare providers.
With the collaboration, hospitals and healthcare systems serviced by Yext can manage key data about their providers on both platforms, including which insurances they accept, their medical specialty, languages spoken, whether they are accepting new patients, and more.
