      St. Louis, Mo., December 9, 2009 -- Personal Medicine International, a leader in concierge-based medicine, has officially endorsed the Keane Insurance Group as its preferred vendor to provide medical malpractice brokerage services to all of PMI’s physician members.

      “We are very pleased to forge this relationship with Keane, one of the leaders in the medical malpractice industry,” says Dr. Natalie Hodge, the president and founder of Personal Medicine International.  “We believe Keane will be able to provide real value to our physicians by helping them find the best and most cost effective liability coverage for themselves and their practice.”

      Dr. Hodge spent three years developing and refining the personalized house call platform creating cloud-based technology and e-commerce platform solutions for mobile medical practice.
