Consumer Reports Invites eDrugSearch.com to Headquarters Briefing
Consumer Reports, a non-profit publication with 4 million subscribers, has been fighting for consumers since its founding in 1936.

eDrugSearch.com president Cary Byrd was among a select number of online healthcare authorities and journalists who were invited to a special briefing at Consumer Reports headquarters in Yonkers, New York. The goal was to share information about the latest trends in health-related online information and services. Among the event’s highlights, Byrd had the opportunity to speak with Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist and a member of the Consumer Reports board of directors, about providing prescription drugs over the Web.
