ROCHESTER, Mich., (June 19, 2018) — OptimizeRx Corp.

“As we continue to demonstrate high ROI from the marketing spend of our pharma clients and strengthen our network of EHR partners, we expect our Nasdaq listing to further elevate our corporate profile, enhance liquidity for our investors, and broaden our shareholder base.”
