Crdentia Receives Industry's Gold Seal of Approval From Independent Accrediting Organization DALLAS, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Crdentia Corp. (OTC:CRDT) (BULLETIN BOARD: CRDT) , a leading U.S. provider of healthcare staffing services, today announced that the Company has achieved the Gold Seal of Approval for health care staffing services. The Joint Commission has awarded Crdentia its Health Care Staffing Services Certification for two years. Crdentia met national standards addressing how staffing firms determine the qualifications and competency of their staff, how they place their staff and then monitor staff's performance. "Health care organizations that contract with Crdentia can look to this certification as an assurance that Crdentia demonstrates a commitment to providing and continuously improving quality services," said Michele Sacco, executive director, Health Care Staffing Services Certification, Joint Commission. The ongoing shortages of nurses and allied health professionals have forced health care organizations to increasingly fill positions with temporary workers through contractual arrangements with staffing firms. The Joint Commission certification program was launched in October 2004 to offer an independent, comprehensive evaluation of a staffing firm's abilities to provide competent staffing services. "This certification recognizes Crdentia's dedication to providing health care professionals that are qualified to provide safe, high-quality care to patients," said Jim Durham, Crdentia's Chairman and CEO. "We're proud to receive the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval."

The Joint Commission also accredits health plans, integrated delivery networks, and other managed care entities.

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.
