MedeFile International Selects Elite Financial Communications Group for Strategic Investor Relations and Corporate Communications

BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MedeFile International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MDFI), a leader in portable patient-centric electronic medical record management solutions, today announced that it has engaged Elite Financial Communications Group, LLC, a nationally recognized investor and public relations firm, to manage investor relations and corporate communications.

In collaboration with MedeFile's senior leadership team, Elite is charged with developing, implementing and supporting a fully integrated corporate and shareholder communications platform.   Dodi Handy, President and CEO of Elite, will lead the IR/PR team and provide strategic counsel.

Kevin Hauser, President and CEO of MedeFile, stated, "We are proud of the progress MedeFile has made over the past year and are building further on our communication of this progress to the investment community. Providing optimal transparency into our business and ensuring that our valued shareholders are kept well apprised of key milestones we are working to achieve is and will remain a critical objective for our management team.  To that end, we will look to Dodi and her team at Elite to provide us with essential support and guidance."

"Elite is very pleased to partner with MedeFile to help elevate the Company's profile within the investment community at large, and rouse appreciation for its compelling growth prospects," added Handy.  "The fact remains that medical and diagnostic errors occur because complete patient information is not available at the time of patient care.  Care givers are forced to provide medical attention, emergent or non-emergent, based upon a patient's recollection or, in worst cases, a family member's memory or no information at all.  MedeFile was founded to effectively address the need for collecting, organizing and storing medical records that are readily accessible anytime, anywhere; and remains at the forefront of the technological changes that are now redefining the delivery of quality medical care in an overwhelmingly diverse and complex healthcare environment.  We feel very privileged to be teaming with MedeFile and look forward to playing a meaningful role in the Company's emergence as a noted industry leader."
