Combining both platforms is immediately synergistic across every aspect of both our businesses as it allows us to layer on additional educational resources for our doctors, allied health professionals and patients and for us to cross sell services to their clients and patients. These resources empower patients to finally participate in their own health and wellness which studies have repeatedly shown results in better outcomes, and in turn lowers healthcare costs for governments and corporations around the world. The addition of iMD further realizes our strategy of whole person healthcare delivery and will be an extremely valuable piece of our global growth plans.”Kevin Delano President & CEO of iMD commented, “There is a significant disconnect between what a patient is told and what he or she remembers.
