We look forward to helping the industry meet the challenges of the 21st century—helping the industry do more with less by achieving maximum return on investment (ROI) with gold standard lists, databases and email marketing services.

MMS was the first Database Licensee of the American Medical Association (AMA), widely recognized as the finest physician database in the world, and guaranteed 99% deliverable for direct mail by MMS. Upon that foundation we have built a selection of lists that maintain that same discerning standard of excellence to reach the entire spectrum of health professionals, featuring lists of the leading healthcare professional associations in each discipline. The results of this decades-long effort to bring you the best available lists and databases are establishment of one source you can rely on for all your healthcare list and email marketing needs.

MMS allows you to reach all the critical healthcare professionals you need to succeed with an integrated, multichannel direct marketing approach that diversifies your campaigns across all media—direct mail, telemarketing, broadcast fax, and email.

But the key to our success over the years goes well beyond the lists and data, and even beyond the state-of-the-art information technology we have developed over eight decades—a tradition of innovation, if you will—to deliver them to you quickly and accurately. It’s the people who serve you. Led by the fourth generation of private family ownership, our staff is dedicated to giving you the lists and services you need to succeed. Because we humbly recognize that our success is but a reflection of yours. And our celebration is in fact a celebration of you, our customer.

Thus we thank you for enabling us to achieve this milestone of eight decades of service to medical marketers, and we look forward to many more decades of mutually beneficial relationships.
