MIAMI, March 1, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- ER Urgent Care Centers (Pink Sheets:ERUG) is pleased to announce it is in the process of acquiring a new medical center.
Located in the quickly expanding and highly developed section of South Dade, this medical practice has been a staple in the community for the last 10 years. With no other medical practices in the vicinity, this center has been able to consistently generate annual revenue of half a million dollars despite being open for only a fraction of the hours of an ER Urgent Care Center. ER Urgent Care will continue to provide top level health care to the members of this growing community and to the nearby businesses which include a variety of farms and nurseries with high demand for urgent medical care and workers comp. With the extended hours of operation and the marketing power that ER Urgent Care Centers brings to the table, the company expects to double the revenues of this long standing medical practice. All parties involved have signed a letter of intent and the acquisition is pending final contract.
