CHADDS FORD, PA , the parent company of CHD Meridian Healthcare
and ProFitness Health Solutions, said today that 2007 was its
busiest to date for sales of workplace-based health and fitness
centers with more site openings than in any prior 12-month
period.
"We experienced double-digit growth in revenue, our operating
performance continued to improve and our pipeline is robust with
significant multi-site and multi-service opportunities," said Frank
A. Martin, chairman of I-trax.
In 2007, I-trax's wholly owned subsidiary, CHD Meridian
Healthcare, opened a total of 32 new on-site health centers for 28
clients. Ten of those were new clients, while the remaining sites
were for existing clients. CHD Meridian ended the year with 242
health centers for 108 clients in 36 states.
"The number of new clients that we added in 2007 is testament
that our investment in ground-breaking research is demonstrating
the clear value of workplace health services," Martin said.
Other highlights for I-trax in 2007 included finalizing the
acquisition of ProFitness Health Solutions of Shelton, CT. "Since
the acquisition was finalized, we have experienced substantial
interest from existing clients of both organizations in combining
fitness, wellness and health services at the workplace," continued
Martin. "We believe that will trend will gain even more momentum in
2008."
Going into 2008, CHD Meridian Healthcare has commitments for an
additional 26 sites to be opened in the coming months, not
including any new business added in fourth quarter 2007. "That
includes three clients that have committed to the integrated
Primary Care and Pharmacy model," Martin said. "We should see
organic growth in net revenue of approximately 20 percent and an
additional 10 percent growth from the acquisition of ProFitness
Health Solutions and we will start to see the leverage in our
business model to substantially improve our profitability. We
believe that in 2008, we will exceed our investors' expectations
for success."
