QUOTES

Dmitriy Kruglyak, CEO, Trusted.MD

I am very pleased to see our online health community graduate to the next phase. From the very beginning, Trusted.MD has been conceived as "a new type" of eHealth resource bringing all healthcare stakeholders together. Transmarx is the ideal partner for taking this vision to the next level as they have achieved a very impressive success connecting consumer healthcare stakeholders through more traditional means.

Skip Brickley, CEO, Transmarx LLC

Blogs and interactive media are going to be an important part of the transformation of healthcare as we know it. These technologies can improve the lives of consumers and benefit professionals as well, while providing business opportunities to industry leaders, savvy enough to recognize and capture them. We chose to partner with Trusted.MD because they have taken the leadership position on articulating and implementing this vision.
