The Peterson Network joins ConcentricHealth

11:00am EDT, Thursday, August 9, 2001 -- (Atlanta, Georgia) ConcentricHealth, LLC, an Atlanta consulting and capabilities network company announced today that Lake Geneva, Wisconsin based The Peterson Network, Ltd. has joined ConcentricHealth as its most recent network partner.

The Peterson Network is a specialized source of top level, veteran executives who, on an interim basis, can bring responsive leadership and superior expertise to health care organizations experiencing any of a myriad of changes. They provide Interim Executives include CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, Chief Nursing Officer and other specialty clinical leaders for Healthcare Organizations that include National or Regional Systems, Hospitals - Small, Community, Academic Medical Centers, HMO's, Home Health Agencies, Ambulatory Care, Integrated Care Models and Long Term Care.

According to Judith K. Call, The Peterson Network's Managing Partner, "We have one product and one product only - Interim Healthcare Executives. Any time. Any where. For any reason. The ConcentricHealth relationship is a good match because we bring a specialty not previously offered in their mix of services."

ConcentricHealth's strategy is to provide a resource network of expert "specialty" firms. The design of the network is to bring together non-duplicative and complementary capabilities under a common organization that offers an alternative to the large, "full service" firms. ConcentricHealth is the alternative brand for consulting, products, and services for the healthcare market. The companies assembled represent the best and brightest talent anywhere to be found. Their capabilities can be accessed separately or combined to deliver exceptional value and results. ConcentricHealth's powerful network advantage is leading the way to innovation, true breakthrough performance, and sustainable success.

The Peterson Network can be found under the ConcentricCapabilities group Leadership and HR Management.
