HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 15, 2006--Intrepid Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:ITPD - News) announced today that Healthy Access, Inc., Intrepid's wholly-owned clinic operating company, is making its clinic services available to local, state and federal government agencies.

These clinics, which are similar to Healthy Access retail clinics with the services they provide, will be staffed with certified Nurse Practitioners with physician oversight. The clinics will provide health services at an affordable cost to many individuals that currently have few options except to overwhelm hospital emergency rooms for treatment of acute non-life threatening medical conditions such as colds, sinus, ear and eye infections. The clinics will also provide screening for such conditions as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol; and routine laboratory testing for certain illnesses, including prostate cancer, hepatitis, and certain STD's. Each clinic will also offer flu shots, vaccinations and routine physicals.

"Intrepid is committed to being a leader in focusing attention, and resources, on the healthcare needs of urban communities in the United States. It is our duty and responsibility to offer our services to those communities that have been overlooked by mainstream healthcare providers and need affordable and available healthcare," stated Toney Means, President of Intrepid Healthcare Group. "With this effort, we are providing practical solutions to the continuing debate on the availability, quality and affordability of healthcare to underserved urban communities," added Means.
