New York City Doctor Launches TravelMD, A Newly Redesigned Healthy Travel Website

A newly redeveloped, regularly updated medical website for travelers going abroad or coming to New York City was launched today in New York. Travelers now have fresh, new medical and destination information at a glance in an easy to navigate website designed by one of New York City's premier travel medicine experts.

September 2, 2003 -- Dr. Ronald A. Primas, a New York City based internist and travel medicine specialist, the American Academy of Home Care Physicians (AAHCP) 2002 House Call Doctor of the Year today launched a completely redesigned comprehensive website for travelers.

Whether a business traveler or leisure traveler visiting or planning to visit New York City and needing up the minute weather reports and forecasts, influenza or allergy alerts, New York City bus and subway maps, NYC events, or an adventure traveler going abroad and needing pre-travel advice or visa requirements, TravelMD.com is a traveler's one stop for information. It is updated regularly and has an updated quarterly newsletter on how to stay healthy while traveling.

Says Dr. Primas;"This site was designed to meet any and all needs of travelers everywhere. We see over three thousand travelers a year and have responded to their needs. For patients seen at our Travelers Wellness Center who are going abroad, we've added first aid advice, a multilingual translator, a customizable currency converter, an international cyber café directory, and even a link to get their passports online quickly as well as a link to purchase travel insurance and travel protection products.

Traveling, while rewarding, is stressful enough. We've designed our site to give our patients peace of mind by covering all of our bases. There is even a public service section where there are links to public service announcements and even a link where someone can feel good and contribute to their favorite charitable organization."
