SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - April 22, 2014) - Patient Home Monitoring ("PHM") (TSX VENTURE:PHM), a profitable company focused on rolling-up annuity-based healthcare service companies in the US and Canada, today announced that it has appointed Chairman Michael Dalsin to the concurrent position of Chief Executive Officer effective immediately. Mr. Andrew Folmer will remain as President and CFO of PHM and continue to lead the company's day-to-day operations.
Mr. Dalsin is a merger and acquisition expert with a 15-year career as an investment banker with international experience. He has a significant personal shareholding in PHM and has co-led the acquisition strategy for PHM since June 2013.
"I look forward to being more directly involved in PHM," said Michael Dalsin, Chairman and CEO of PHM. "With our growing acquisition pipeline of over a dozen potential target companies and the development of critical mass in revenue and profit, the board believes I can serve more effectively as a leader in the overall management of the business. While Andrew Folmer is doing a fantastic job focusing on our profitability on a day-to-day basis, I believe we could increase attention around capital markets and organic growth efforts. These will be my two main areas of focus in addition to mergers and acquisitions."
PHM also announced that all resolutions from its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders on April 11, 2014 were passed.
About PHM
PHM is currently a positive cash flow and profitable company that serves patients with heart disease and other chronic health conditions, and will act as a platform for acquisitions. PHM is focused on a highly fragmented and developing market of small privately-held companies servicing chronically ill patients with multiple disease states caused mainly by age and obesity. Because of the new and highly fragmented nature of the market, PHM is actively working to identify and evaluate profitable, annuity-based companies to acquire their patient databases and technical expertise at favorable prices. PHM's post acquisition organic growth strategy is to increase annual revenue per patient by offering multiple services to the same patient, consolidating the patient's services and making life easier for the patient. The expected result is growing EPS with each acquisition and growing revenue and profits from the cross selling efforts.
