SHOM Southern Home Medical Inc (CE)

Southern Home Medical Equipment, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SHOM), a holding company providing healthcare services, staffing and equipment to medical institutions, announced today that based on strong organic growth and Encore franchisees revenue reports, the Company expects to generate $1.3 Million in corporate revenues for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Southern Home Medical has spent the past two years creating a solid financial base and improving its operational fundamentals. The Company is leveraging its position by offering specialized healthcare services to help our franchisees grow their existing businesses. Southern Home is now preparing to expand into new markets geographically and offer additional, highly competitive service programs that can attract a more diverse client base.

The Company recently announced the launch of Respi-Care and Backstage Solutions, programs that are designed to accelerate its franchisees' sales momentum, while controlling costs. The Company's Apnea Rx division is addressing under-served markets, like sleep apnea and chronic respiratory disease, by increasing patient access to life-saving testing and breathing equipment.

Encore franchisees are reporting record growth due in part to the acceptance of these specialized programs. Based on this measurable growth, Southern Home Medical forecasts approximately $1.3 million in corporate gross revenues in fiscal year 2011.

"Our franchisees are equipped to address the long-term needs of the nation's healthcare industry," stated Jeff Sarvis, CEO of Southern Home Medical. "Encore Medical has experienced profitable growth by filling the void left by medical staffing shortages."
