Stat (stylized STAT, sometimes also called Stat News)[1] is an American health-oriented news website launched on November 4, 2015, by John W. Henry, the owner of The Boston Globe. It is produced by Boston Globe Media and is headquartered in the Globe's own building in Boston.[2][3] Its executive editor is Rick Berke, who formerly worked at both The New York Times and Politico.[4] According to Kelsey Sutton of Politico, the website is Henry's "biggest and most ambitious standalone site yet".[5] The site's name comes from the term "stat", short for statim, or "immediately"—a term that has long been used in medical contexts.
As of February 2016, it had 45 staff members.[3] On average, STAT reaches about 2.3 million unique readers every month, with over 196,000 newsletter subscribers.[6]
