January 24, 2009 - According to US government studies, there is a rising demand for pharmacy services. As the population ages, the demand for pharmacy services in hospitals is projected to increase and prescribed medications are forecasted to be dispensed with greater frequency. Among those that will require pharmacy services are hospitals, long term care facilities, mail order companies, supermarkets and mass-market discounters, increasing the demand for pharmacy staffing.
We are extremely excited about this new venture with UNITED Pharmacy Staffing and feel positive that the experience and strength of both organizations combined offers a whole new dimension to our portfolio. “For a long time we have been interested in expanding our geographical capabilities throughout not only the Midwest, but coast to coast and this gives us the foundation and platform we need,” says Mr. Ralph Steeber, CEO of MEDSEARCH Staffing Services, Inc.
Mr. Richard Puccetti, an industry veteran and President of the privately held, JCAHO certified UNITED Pharmacy Staffing, remarks that, “This relationship offers all the resources and infrastructure to accomplish our goals and elevate us as a national market leader within the near future. We plan to grow prudently in select cities over the next few years.”
