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.\" <\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n 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.
