BRYAN, TEXAS- November 14, 2000 - AuctionMart.com, today announced an agreement
with MomMD, LLC., the first and only Internet community connecting mothers in
medicine across the world, to be the exclusive provider of previously owned
medical equipment and quality referenced refurbished medical equipment to MomMD
members.
Medicine is a most challenging profession, as is motherhood, MomMD is there
to help women meet these challenges. MomMD provides unique content, resources
and information for mother (and future mother) premedical and medical students,
residents, physicians, as well as a growing number of mothers considering medicine
as a career.
The MomMD vision is to create synergy and a sense of community through the
open communication of these women. Through the power of communication, these
women are influencing the future of women in medicine. The typical MomMD visitor
is educated, intelligent, hardworking, driven and, above all, wants to balance
her career and family successfully. With more women entering medicine and women
as one of the largest growing segments on the web, MomMD looks forward to an
exciting future.
An established leader in the refurbished and pre-owned medical equipment business,
AuctionMart.com offers business-to-business e-commerce solutions for the purchase,
sale and distribution of pre-owned equipment coming directly from hospitals,
clinics and other healthcare providers. Buyers of pre-owned medical equipment
realize that the highest quality pre-owned equipment comes directly from the
end user. To assist them, AuctionMart.com lists each healthcare facility in
the "List of Sellers" section of their web site. Most buyers prefer
that the equipment still be in use at the facility before it's purchased, and
may wish to examine items on location to confirm their condition before bidding.
"For those mothers already in the medical field and those who are considering
medicine (future mothers), comparing equipment costs is a time-consuming and
often overwhelming process," said Sethina Edwards, Founder and CEO of MomMD.
"Through our relationship with AuctionMart.com, we are now able to offer
our members a service that will save them time and money. We've partnered with
the leader in the pre-owned medical equipment industry to provide our members
with access to medical equipment coming directly from hospitals and clinics."
MomMD members will be able to access the AuctionMart.com web site from the
MomMD Home Page. After completing a free one-time registration, MomMD members
will have full access to all of AuctionMart.com's services. They can browse
through the many categories and sub-categories of equipment currently under
action, those coming to auction (Upcoming Auctions) and their refurbished/remanufactured
equipment area. They can also sign up for an automated notification service,
which lets them know when a desired item becomes available, when they have been
outbid, or when they win an item.
"AuctionMart.com is user-friendly, efficient and reliable - a perfect
fit with MomMD's physician community," said David Hickson, President and
CEO of AuctionMart. "We are thrilled to partner with MomMD because the
company shares our commitment to innovative e-commerce solutions for the healthcare
industry."
