Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE: PDX) has introduced additional
physician subspecialty services in the Tampa Bay area with the
acquisition of Florida Perinatal Associates, a maternal-fetal
medicine group practice. The seven physicians, who practice along
with more than 27 clinical and administrative staff members,
provide patient care at offices in Tampa, Clearwater and Sarasota,
on Florida�s West Coast, and in Brevard County on Florida�s East
Coast. �We�re excited about moving forward as part of Pediatrix to
respond to increasing demand for maternal-fetal services throughout
Tampa Bay, as well as to surrounding areas throughout west and
central Florida,� said Jeffrey Angel, M.D., who founded Florida
Perinatal Associates in 1992 and will serve as the practice medical
director. �We�ll be able to work with Pediatrix�s pediatric
cardiology and neonatal subspecialists to provide a continuum of
care model that should improve fetal and newborn health for
patients in the communities we serve.� Pediatrix�s national group
practice already includes neonatal and pediatric cardiology
physician subspecialists practicing in the Tampa Bay area.
Pediatrix paid cash for the practice, which is expected to
contribute to the Company�s results immediately. During 2008,
Pediatrix has completed 13 physician group practice acquisitions
including four neonatal, four maternal-fetal, three pediatric
cardiology and two anesthesia group practices. About Pediatrix
