MEDSEARCH Announces Visionary Joint Venture with ATC Healthcare

CLEVELAND, OH ñJune 10, 2004 óRalph Steeber, CEO of the privately held MEDSEARCH Staffing Services Inc. (MSSI) of Cleveland, Ohio has announced today that MEDSEARCH has partnered with ATC Healthcare, Inc. (AMEX:AHN-News) of Lake Success, New York to launch a newly formed corporation that specializes exclusively in pharmacy staffing providing temporary, travel and permanent placement services throughout the United States. The new corporation will start with close to $2 million in revenue and will operate under the name Pharmacy Reserves, Inc. Although the pharmacy group will concentrate in specific key markets during the first year, their goal is to be fully operational in 24 cities within the next 3 years.

After great success in their backyard, MEDSEARCH began to branch out into other states ñ conducting business over the phone like the majority of their competitors. However, they soon realized a local presence throughout the country would have a tremendous impact on the quality of services to their clients and candidates.

In the fall of 2003, MEDSEARCH began exploring national allied staffing firms to identify the right partner that could provide the capital and industry recognition to quickly advance their pharmacy division into the $200 million national arena of pharmacy staffing services. Steeber believes that, ìATC Healthcare offers all the resources and infrastructure to accomplish our goals and elevate us as a national market leader within 36 months.î Ralph Steeber, an industry veteran of 30 years, will head Pharmacy Reserves, Inc. as President of the new venture and hold a seat on the board of directors.

Since national sales operations will be centralized in Cleveland, Ohio, Steeber is anticipating hiring additional specialists and will rely on the support of the existing 52 ATC Healthcare offices truly creating a ìnational firmî and competing with the major players in the industry. It is the firmís goal to distinguish itself from the competition by offering the ìpersonal touchî to clients and candidates in their own backyards.
