Leading provider of Personal Health Records, MMRGlobal has announced two new additions to its Medical Board of Advisors. New York Times best-selling author on children’s health and parenting, Dr. Cara Natterson, M.D., is to join as well as Concierge Medicine Specialist Dr. Jeremy Fine, M.D.
A Board-Certified Pediatrician, Dr. Natterson will assist MMRGlobal with its goals to educate parents on the medical importance and relevance of having Personal Health Records for their children. She will help advocate the best ways to offer Personal Health Record products and services through pediatricians. Board-Certified in Internal Medicine, Dr. Fine will oversee MMRGlobal’s education of Concierge Medicine professionals. He will also ensure patients maintain a current Personal Health Record.
The official announcement of MMRGlobal’s newest additions was made during CEO Bob Lorschs appearance on a Fox News Radio show, during his 30-minute interview on “The Vipp Jaswal Report.” During the interview Lorsch discusses MMR’s business model as well as humanitarian efforts regarding the release of Dr. Shakil Afridi.
A five-time author, Dr. Natterson inked “Worry Proof,” which was awarded The Wall Street Journal’s Best Health Book of the Year Award. She also penned the American Girl book, “The Care & Keeping of You 2.” Additionally she updated American Girl’s original “The Care & Keeping of You,” which has sold about three million copies. A former Clinical professor of Medicine at both UCLA and USC Schools of Medicine, Dr. Natterson was named by Los Angeles Magazine as one of the Best Doctors in Los Angeles, CA.
Dr. Natterson currently consults for a number of Fortune 500 companies in need of expert consultation on child wellness, health, and safety issues. Her company Worry Proof Consulting is the first pediatric practice of its kind, offering parents open-ended time to review everything from medical questions to parenting issues.
“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,” commented Lorsch. “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.”
Dr. Fine has routinely and skillfully deployed MyMedicalRecords accounts over the past several years to many of his Concierge Medicine patients as part of his Concierge Medicine policy and 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,” added Lorsch.
Additionally Dr. Fine has served on the Medical Informatics Committee at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Executive Committee and the Bioethics Committee. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, trained in pediatrics at the University of California at San Francisco. He was also chosen by Los Angeles Magazine as one of the Best Doctors in Los Angeles and was named as one of California’s Favorite Physicians.
A company founded on working with highly qualified healthcare professionals and medical advisers, including the company’s own, MMRGlobal continues to focus on its Personal Health Record services and licensing. The company currently generates revenue from the sale of Personal Health Records to employers for employee benefits. Through MMRGlobal’s wholly owned operating subsidiary MyMedicalRecords, patients are provided a secure online Personal Health Record which then enables them and their families to access medical records and other valuable documents like birth certificates online at anytime.
