VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp. (The "Company") (PINKSHEETS: VMCS) (FRANKFURT: VA6) announces it has entered into a partnership with the Maryland Center, Bowie State University, Intelaform and Verizon, as announced by the Maryland Center at Bowie State on Wednesday.

The recently formed partnership brings together leaders in healthcare information technology and communications and network solutions that will co-develop a national research center that will apply the latest technologies in managing health information to enhance national capabilities to respond to domestic threats including natural disasters, pandemics and manmade catastrophes.

This multi-disciplinary public/private partnership between Maryland Center, Bowie State, VisualMED Clinical Solutions Corp., Intelaform, Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. will create the National Emergency Preparedness and Response (NEPR) Research Center, a national network that will respond to recommendations from public and private leaders and develop surveillance and response capabilities to emerging threats on a national level.

The NEPR Research Center, to be housed by the Maryland Center on the campus of Bowie State University, will assist federal, state and private sector leaders in developing protocols and methodology to enhance the ongoing efforts in preparing and responding to national emergencies. The center will offer deployable systems developed by the joint capabilities of the private partners.

"This is the right time and the right place for this kind of project," stated Mickey L. Burnim, president of BSU. "With the creation of the NEPR Research Center, we are taking a significant step towards our vision of creating innovative public/private economic development partnerships that are beneficial to BSU, the state of Maryland, and our great nation."

"The NEPR Research Center has the potential to revolutionize emergency preparedness efforts, by creating unprecedented and uniform access to medical technology and information. For the first time, local, state, and federal agencies will have real-time access to essential, life-saving data in a highly integrated and usable form to prepare for and respond to national emergencies," said J. Randall Hoggle, PD, Chairman of the Board of Intelaform, Inc.

"We are excited about the NEPR Research Center initiative and look forward to a long-term partnership that will produce pioneering milestones in the emergency preparedness community," said Terry Lawlah, executive director of the Maryland Center at Bowie State University. "The Maryland Center will optimize our partner's ability to provide sustainable, scalable and stable capabilities in a collaborative and synergistic relationship."

"We wholeheartedly believe this partnership will prove to be one of the premier relationships of the 21st century, one which will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our customers while adding incredible value to all stakeholders," stated Gerard Dab, CEO of VisualMED Solutions Corp.
