Executive Health Group Executive
Health Group (http://www.ExecHealthGroup.com) was founded in 1913 with the belief
that the most effective form of healthcare was proactive intervention before a
disease became too far advanced for effective treatment. In
advancing this philosophy, EHG was the first organization in the country to focus
on the early detection of life-threatening illnesses through physical examinations.
In addition, EHG opened the first facility in the U.S. that was devoted to keeping
people healthy, rather than curing people who were already sick. Today
Executive Health Group provides its comprehensive services at Executive Centers
in New York, Houston; Morristown, NJ; and Stamford, CT. A new facility will be
opened in Chicago this June. Executive Health Group also provides its examination
services through a network of physician offices in over 600 locations across the
country. About
PersonalMD.com PersonalMD.com
(http://www.PersonalMD.com) is the first
consumer-oriented health information site that has the potential to save lives
by providing consumers with the ability to truly take control of their own health
records. This is especially important in emergency situations, where a physician
might need someone's medical information immediately. PersonalMD.com
makes it possible to find the medical and health information people need, from
their own confidential medical records to scientific breakthroughs in disease
management and health issues, by just pointing and clicking. The
keys to the site are PersonalMD.com's proprietary e-file and innovative Emergency
Card. E-file enables consumers to fax paper-based documents, including EKGs, lab
reports and doctors' notes in a secure manner for free. The Emergency Card provides
the link between the online records and medical professionals. The
member's user name, PIN Code (if desired), and Fax ID are printed on the front
of the Card, while pertinent information; e.g.: contact physician and family names,
drug allergies and blood type can appear on the back. PersonalMD.com
is headquartered in Pleasanton, California. The President and CEO is Suresh Challa.
