(NYSE American: HLTH) (NEO: HLTH) ("Nobilis" or the "Company")

"Nobilis is a company built on concierge service for our
patients and revolutionary technology, so embracing telemedicine is
a natural part of our company's progression," said Dr. Neil Badlani, Nobilis' Chief Medical Officer,
and member of the Board of Directors. "Our physicians are excited
about the opportunity to increase patient engagement through
telemedicine, to provide further education on our entire spectrum
of minimally invasive procedures. Regardless of physical location,
Nobilis physicians will be able to create a personal and productive
dialogue with patients, including walking patients through their
MRI results using virtual models and illustrations to break down
any complexities and answer any questions the patient may have-
just as though it was being done in person."
"Healthcare is becoming an increasingly consumer driven
industry. With greater access to information, more abundant choices
and a greater financial burden, patients are more actively involved
in choosing their physicians, hospitals and health care services
than ever before. And like every other industry, technology is
bringing healthcare closer to patients. Telemedicine has the
potential to bring patients face-to-face with their physician in
the comfort and convenience of their own home," continued Dr.
Badlani.
The company's Telemedicine services will be offered in
conjunction with Nobilis' branded marketing campaigns, initially,
with plans to expand the application throughout the system over
time, and where appropriate.
