Medical Services

In addition to its healthcare staffing solutions, MEII provides innovative medical services directly to healthcare consumers.
Med-Emerg is the coordinator for the community-based infusion of Remicade™, in Ontario. This program capitalizes on the Company's access to clinics for the treatment of patients with disabling rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. The Company has established over 20 infusion sites to-date and has delivered over 6,000 infusions in 2004. MEII is expecting continued growth for this service, as the trend seems to be to move infusion services from institution settings into community based settings.

Recently, MEII added the service of chronic pain management. It is estimated that more than10% of the Canadian population suffer from chronic pain (unexplained pain lasting more than 6 months). Due to the large demand, existing facilities in the region are backlogged with waiting times of between 4-12 months.

Med-Emerg’s chronic pain management service, CPM Health Centres (“CPM”), was launched in November 2004, with the acquisition of the Scarborough Pain Clinic. A second location, in downtown Toronto, was opened in December 2004. CPM has developed a standardized approach to the treatment of chronic pain, using an integrated multi-disciplinary approach including anesthetists, ER physicians, physiotherapist, chiropractors etc.
