Based on his personal experience, Dr. Fine will assist the Company educating Concierge Medicine professionals on the value of ensuring that patients maintain an up-to-date PHR. The announcement was made following MMRGlobal CEO Bob Lorsch's appearance on Fox News Radio in a 30-minute interview on "The Vipp Jaswal Report."During the interview, which is available at https://www.facebook.com/#!/MMRGlobal?fref=ts, Lorsch discussed MMR's business and how efforts in Washington to encourage steering a portion of $27 billion in health IT stimulus to emerging growth companies like MMR brought him and his wife Kira to spearhead a humanitarian effort regarding the release of Dr. Shakil Afridi.

Dr. Natterson has written five books, including "Worry Proof," winner of the The Wall Street Journal's Best Health Book of the Year Award, and authored the American Girl book, "The Care & Keeping of You 2."She also updated American Girl's original "The Care & Keeping of You," which has sold over three million copies.

According to Lorsch, "Dr. Natterson and Dr. Fine will make a great addition to the Company's Medical Board of Advisors, helping us educate two specialty markets on the value of PHRs. Dr. Natterson's role is to strategically introduce MyMedicalRecords to the pediatric market in an effort to make both pediatricians and parents aware of the importance of having a PHR for children at a very young age. Dr. Jeremy Fine truly exemplifies what Concierge Medicine is all about and being there for his patients whenever and wherever they need him."

Over the past several years, Dr. Fine routinely deployed MyMedicalRecords accounts to his Concierge Medicine patients as part of his Concierge Medicine protocol."As a result, Dr. Fine knows first-hand how valuable it can be in an emergency at 2 a.m. to have the ability to log in to MyMedicalRecords and access a patient's critical information regardless of where he or his patients are in the world. Consumer awareness of the importance of having a PHR is critical to the Company's business plan and there are no better professionals than Drs. Natterson and Fine to carry our message to physician colleagues, patients and parents," Lorsch added.

Working with qualified healthcare professionals, including the Company's medical advisers, MMR continues to focus on the deployment of its Personal Health Record products and services and the licensing of its patented technologies. MMRGlobal generates revenue from the sale of Personal Health Records to employers for employee benefits, direct to consumers, and patients. Through the MMR Stimulus Program, physicians and hospitals that offer MyMedicalRecords PHRs to patients can receive hundreds of thousands of dollars back from MMR as a reimbursement for the costs of maintaining medical records.
