MyMedLab Announces Strategic Partnership with Dr. Erika.com
Leading author, blogger, and hormone specialist creates branded laboratory profiles to measure female hormone wellness.
Joplin, MO (PRWEB) November 5, 2008 -- MyMedLab today announced a strategic alliance with renowned author, blogger, and hormone specialist Dr. Erika Schwartz. The partnership will facilitate a nationwide audience of women's health advocates with affordable access to Dr. Erika's internationally recognized hormone balancing protocols. The woman's hormone movement has received significantly more media coverage since the Center for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy created the World Summit Series to gather internationally recognized thought leaders to discuss issues related to hormone health. Dr. Erika will be leading the session on Peri-Menopausal Health on November 10, 2008.
"Hormone wellness is an essential part of women's health that has not been well understood by traditional health care providers," according to Dr. Schwartz. "As awareness of the impact of hormones on wellness has increased, we have seen a tremendous increase in the need to measure, monitor, and improve hormone levels. Comprehensive hormone testing has traditionally been very expensive and difficult to obtain. MyMedLab removes those inefficiencies to make confidential, convenient, and cost-effective lab testing possible."
MyMedLab is a leading provider of direct to consumer lab testing. Their next generation health care service combines transparent pricing, state-of-the-art testing, and the oversight services of a board certified physician in every state. This unique combination eliminates the cost and inconvenience of a doctor's visit for routine testing while ensuring compliance with state and federal laws. Lab tests, available individually and in panels specific to gender, age, and medical history, can be purchased 24 hours a day. No appointment is required at the more than 2,000 collections sites nationwide with results typically available in the consumer's personal health record within 24-36 hours. In most cases consumers are able to save approximately 50%-80% over traditional office or hospital based testing.
"MyMedLab is thrilled to provide our 21st century healthcare solutions to Dr. Erika and her patients," says Chief Executive Officer David Clymer. "Our custom hormone profiles will simplify the ordering process and allow Dr. Erika's nationally recognized protocols to reach an even larger national audience." MyMedLab supports patient compliance by automatically sending reminders to ensure timely follow-up can occur consistent with treatment protocols. Mr. Clymer also noted that MyMedLab is designing other combinations of tests for many best-selling authors and experts in a wide variety of medical specialties.
The partnership launched on November 1, 2008 with both a female and male Dr. Erika Hormone Wellness profiles. Dr. Erika will be releasing additional profiles in the coming months in support of her clinical and educational activities.
