Under terms of the agreement, Crdentia will provide travel nurse staffing services to a major healthcare group operating 150 hospitals in seven southeast region states. The signing of this agreement marks the latest of three significant staffing contracts awarded to Crdentia during the past several months. Jim Durham, Crdentia's Chairman and CEO, commented, "I am pleased to announce that Crdentia has been awarded this latest healthcare staffing services contract. This business will enhance our already solid footprint in the southeastern region of the country, while providing our strong group of travel nurses with additional opportunities and career choices. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship as we help this important healthcare group fulfill its staffing requirements with dedicated and highly talented healthcare professionals." About Crdentia Corp. Crdentia Corp. is one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare staffing services. Crdentia seeks to capitalize on an opportunity that currently exists in the healthcare industry by targeting the critical nursing and allied shortage issue. There are many small, private companies that are addressing the rapidly expanding needs of the healthcare industry. Unfortunately, due to their relatively small capitalization, they are unable to maximize their potential, obtain outside capital or expand. By consolidating well-run small private companies into a larger public entity, Crdentia intends to facilitate access to capital, the acquisition of technology, providing greater diversity of client services and expanded distribution that, in turn, drive internal growth.
