YONKERS, N.Y., Jan. 24, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Comprehensive HealthCare Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:CMHS) announces that "The Empire State Restaurant and Tavern Association" will begin distributing private labeled discount prescription cards, utilizing the Comprehensive provider network, to the approximately 1,500 member restaurant and tavern establishments located throughout New York State.
Paul Rothman, President of Comprehensive HealthCare Solutions, Inc., stated, "This agreement to distribute our discount prescription cards opens up a whole new market for us. Our newest client, The Empire State Restaurant and Tavern Association, is a 70-year-old association located in Albany, NY, which was brought to us by an independent marketing group. This marketing group is well established and connected throughout the State of New York with various commercial, political and fraternal organizations. We believe that our association with this marketing group could provide access to many other potential groups that could become new clients for us. This should enhance our ability to get more of our discount prescription cards into the hands of a new segment of the population who desperately need access to such coverage. We also anticipate the potential of being able to market our Gold and Platinum cards, once members and their families begin to enjoy the benefits of having the ability to purchase prescription drugs at discounts averaging 20 to 25% nationwide."
Mr. Rothman further stated, "The Empire State Restaurant and Tavern Association anticipates initially distributing 7,500 of Comprehensive's discount prescription cards to its 1,500 member organization establishments, many of who's employees have little or no health care coverage, let alone access to discounted prescription medications."
Comprehensive believes that this newest joint venture provides more confidence then ever for the positive growth of the company in 2006 and years to come.
