MIAMI, March 14, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- ER Urgent Care Centers (Pink Sheets:ERUG) announces it will be expanding its corporate offices and ER Urgent Care Center I. The company is moving to a 5,000 square foot state of the art facility that is an out parcel of the California Club Mall located in North Miami Beach, Fl. The building is located on a main thoroughfare between I-95 and State Road 7 (HWY 441). The move is necessary to better accommodate an increase in patient volume for ER Urgent Care Centers' North Miami Beach location. It will double the number of exam rooms from 5 to 10 and include x-ray and lab. The facility will be equipped by the third quarter with wireless and paperless capabilities. "We expect the visibility to double the number of non referral patients" exclaims Jerry Miller, the company's Executive Director. The facility will also serve as the corporate hub for billing and administration.
