There is a natural ‘fit’ between the MedFlash personal health and wellness benefits and AMAC’s rapidly growing membership base. As we continue to expand our distribution of MedFlash, we believe the adoption rate will increase as more consumers realize the benefits of accessing their medical records whenever necessary coupled with the health and wellness benefits.
