MELBOURNE, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 28, 2016) - First Choice Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (
More specifically, First Choice has engaged Institutional Marketing Services ("IMS") and Wolfe Axelrod Weinberger Associates ("WAW") -- both nationally recognized, full service, investor relations firms -- who will closely collaborate with the Company's management team to achieve broader investor awareness while materially expanding institutional sponsorship and independent research coverage of the Company.
John Nesbett, founder and President of IMS, commented, "First Choice is experiencing robust growth with a unique strategy of partnering with small to medium size physician-owned practices to provide them with a better option than becoming absorbed into large hospitals. Revenue grew 233% with EBITDA of $1.9 million in the third quarter, and the recently announced purchase agreement to sell Marina Tower for $15.45 million, subject to closing conditions being met, will transform the Company's balance sheet and provide meaningful non-dilutive capital to support First Choice's growth and acquisition initiatives. IMS is delighted to be a part of the Company's communications team and we look forward to contributing measurably to its ongoing success."
"Through our pro-active investor relations program for First Choice," noted Donald Weinberger, Managing Member of Wolfe Axelrod Weinberger Associates, "we believe that investors will soon recognize that this Company has made enormous business strides in a relatively short period and appears to be on the cusp of achieving even more pronounced growth in the year ahead. Consequently, it is our belief that as First Choice continues to successfully execute its many exciting growth strategies, an appropriate re-evaluation of its worth will occur. We are very pleased to begin working with First Choice's team and are anxious to begin sharing the Company's powerful growth message with investors."
Christian Romandetti, President and CEO of First Choice, stated, "Our decision to build a diverse, but highly complementary, corporate communications team comprised of well respected, experienced investor relations professionals was fueled at its core by our belief that First Choice has and will continue to represent a very attractive investment opportunity for those individual and institutional investors seeking to invest in the future of U.S. healthcare. By partnering with both WAW and IMS, we will look to draw on their respective strengths, spheres of influence and unique approaches to building market awareness to catapult our Company into Wall Street's spotlight, earning us the attention and support of a much larger audience of First Choice champions."
