“One of our customers who manages a MedsFile.com Personal Health Record for her daughter wrote me a letter asking us if we would sponsor Walk and Wheel-A-Thon at her daughter’s school,” MedsFile.com Founder Mark Holland said. “How could I say no? She’s been a longtime customer and has found our service so helpful to help her care for her daughter. She often asks us to send her brochures to distribute to tell others about MedsFile.com. I feel honored to be a part of her and her daughter’s life in such a small way.”
