Arcadia Resources Forms Strategic Partnership with Physicians Organization of Western Michigan to Offer In-store Routine Medical Services SOUTHFIELD, Mich., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Arcadia Resources, Inc. (OTC:ACDI) (BULLETIN BOARD: ACDI) , a leading national provider of home care and staffing services, respiratory and durable medical equipment, announced today that it has formed a strategic partnership with Physicans' Organization of Western Michigan (POWM), a 570-member independent physicians' coalition and the largest of its kind in the state of Michigan. Through POWM's partnership with retail supercenter Meijer, plans are moving forward to open walk-in, routine (non-emergency) medical clinics inside select Meijer stores in Indiana. Clinics will be staffed by Arcadia's Nurse Practitioners. POWM will provide medical oversight and ensure best practices in clinic operations. Initial plans are to open nine (9) walk-in health care clinics in Meijer stores located in Indiana over the next 12 months. Meijer is no stranger to providing top quality and convenient service for its customers. Offering health care in a non-traditional but more convenient setting reflects a growing national trend and one that Meijer is currently providing to its customers in some of its Michigan locations. "Meijer has always been a trailblazer in developing new and innovative concepts that provide convenience, quality and value for our customers," said Stacie Behler, Vice President Corporate Communications & Public Affairs at Meijer. Arcadia Resources, Inc. Chairman and CEO John Elliott II said, "Arcadia's strongest asset, that of human capital, combined with our reputation for providing professional staffing, durable and respiratory medical equipment and home health care services, makes us uniquely qualified to partner with POWM and staff clinics in Meijer stores. Through our collaborative efforts, we look forward to partnering in the development of the new evolution in alternate site health care - the clinic within a retail store." Elliott continued, "The Arcadia-POWM alliance empowers us to serve yet untapped regional markets and work with retailers like Meijer. Meijer has significant brand equity and consumer loyalty, which can help drive traffic to our clinics, while we provide convenient and quality health care services for Meijer customers." David Silliven, Executive Director of POWM, stated, "Meijer is the originator of the one-stop retail supercenter concept and we believe our health care clinics are ideally suited for placement inside this highly trafficked, consumer centered store. With our partner Arcadia, we are confident in serving communities with the highest quality health care in a convenient setting. These clinics are designed to dramatically reduce the costs of routine medical care, while promoting wellness by offering easy, affordable access to screening, vaccines and other routine testing." Arcadia Director of Clinical Services Patricia Slayton, RN, MSN, ANP, will oversee the program, including recruitment, training, clinical standards and service delivery. Slayton commented, "Individuals and their families are seeking neighborhood health care solutions that don't involve traveling a great distance, spending hours in an emergency treatment facility or hospital, or paying hundreds of dollars for routine treatment. Our walk-in clinics at Meijer stores can help resolve these long-standing issues." The walk-in clinics will offer routine medical services, such as the treatment for ear infections, scrapes, and minor injuries. Additionally, the clinic will provide vaccines and routine screening, such as cholesterol and blood pressure, without an appointment and with little or no waiting time. Arcadia's Nurse Practitioners will staff the clinics and have the ability to write prescriptions when appropriate. Since the clinics are located inside Meijer stores, prescriptions can be filled on-site at the Meijer Pharmacy, providing the ultimate in convenience for customers.
