Discovery Health MD, founded in 2016, is a medical risk management service for the commercial maritime industry, serving the men and women who make their living at sea. Their comprehensive suite of services help protects the health and livelihoods of mariners – while mitigating financial risks for companies.

The company consists of highly experienced physicians in maritime, emergency and travel medicine who have a deep understanding of the medical, regulatory, and legal issues affecting the commercial maritime industry.
