Achievements

On May 16, 2000, Patricia Riley was honored by JFK University, who named her a recipient of their "1999 Jacqueline Kennedy Award." Pat received the award for her outstanding contributions in the fields of Health, Anti-Aging, and Longevity and for pioneering the use of antioxidants in skin care and vitamins in the early 1970’s. Celebrities, from Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend to Charlton and Lydia Heston were there to honor Pat's achievements, while Shirley Jones, and Marty Ingels, sang her praises as they presented Pat with the Lalique Woman Award. Barbara Sinatra described Pat best when she said, "The words achievement, friend, and exceptional, all come to mind when I think of my dear friend, Pat Riley. I am so happy to join Pat's friends and family in applauding her accomplishments, goodness and sensitivity to people in need."

Pat found her direction early in life. She loved the science of nutrition and chemistry, and was a Phi Kappa Phi Honor Graduate of Food Science & Nutrition, from the University of Florida in 1976. "I always have believed that good health is our greatest gift, because without it, you can do nothing! I grew up in South Florida, where many retirees come to enjoy their golden years. Seeing so many of them suffer with the problems that come with aging, I vowed to God to dedicate my life to help us all stay youthful and healthy as long as possible."

In 1979, Pat began to work with the famed Dermatologist Dr. Victor Witten, M.D. and introduced the first oil-free moisturizer to the world. Dr. Witten and Pat were the first cruelty free skin care that then took a quantum leap in the skin care industry with the realization that in order to keep women healthy, their nutritional deficiencies had to be corrected. Pat began working with George Christakis, M.D., the past Chief of Mt. Sinai School of Medicine and University of Miami School of Public Health, the Clientele Daily Nutrients Formula was developed. Neiman Marcus helped make another first possible by introducing the first vitamin program to include antioxidants as a means of protecting the body from "oxidative aging in 1981, years before others recognized that Beauty Begins from Within."

True to her mission of helping everyone live healthier and longer, Pat and her team analyzed vitamin formulas on the market, finding them to be sadly deficient. A new company, "MDR", was born to help bring the latest breakthroughs in health and nutrition to the public. The company philosophy concentrates on formulating the most advanced formulas based on the latest research in anti-aging. For 30 years Pat has been collaborating with the foremost medical minds in the fields of skin care, nutrition, aging, and longevity. Pat and her Team have led the industry with many "firsts" which years later, became industry standards including:

1979 ** First oil-free moisturizer

1982 ** First to use antioxidants (vitamin E, C, A, and Superoxide Dismutase) as a "defense" against "oxidative aging", in skin care and nutritional formulas. Today free radicals are recognized as a key factor in aging and many diseases.
