SKTO - Healthcare Firm Med-Ready to Join SK3 Group
?
Apr 19, 2011 SK3 Group, Inc. (OTCPK: SKTO) announces today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Med-Ready Healthcare, LLC ("Med-Ready"), a healthcare firm based in Northern California, whose services include temporary healthcare staffing.
Med-Ready's primary business is the placement of temporary nursing and allied healthcare staff. Med-Ready brings to SK3 Group existing contracts with high-profile facilities and organizations including the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and the California Department of Mental Health.
The company pre-certifies its staff and offers its placement candidates access to the Med-Ready Education Center. Open to all healthcare professionals (including those not employed through Med-Ready), the Education Center meets many academic needs by offering features such as specialty education not otherwise available through in-hospital programs.
Med-Ready is expanding its business model to include a second division, Med-Ready Housecalls. Med-Ready Housecalls will offer home visits by healthcare professionals to patients who are unable to leave home and require care or assessment. Home visits are an important corollary to the growing presence of walk-in clinics and other alternative venues to traditional doctors' offices.
Med-Ready will be the latest acquisition for SK3 Group's growing portfolio of healthcare service businesses. Earlier this year, SK3 announced the acquisitions of W&M Medical Management, a firm that manages respiratory therapy departments for medical facilities, PRN Registry, a health care staffing agency based in southern California, and HealthStaff Training Institute, a healthcare vocational training school. SK3 Group is the healthcare service and facilities holding company of parent company, Healthcare of Today, Inc.
