Dr. Richard Merkin, President and CEO, Heritage Provider Network, Sponsors Community Healthcare Dialogue, Third in a Continuing Series on Healthcare Addressing Issues for the Community

MARINA DEL REY, Calif., July 28 /CEO News Info/ — Dr. Richard Merkin, President and CEO of Heritage Provider Network sponsored the third in an ongoing Community Healthcare dialogue series discussing the impact of HealthCare Reform Legislation on the Community and the economic implications for small businesses. The event was co-sponsored by The North Valley Chamber of Commerce, The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce and Regal Medical Group, part of the HPN family. The packed house of attendees listened to influential panelists including Dr. Adam Solomon, Assistant Medical Director, Regal Medical Group, member Heritage Provider Network Family, Mr. Fred Bauermeister, Executive Director of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley and Kerry Carmody the COO, and interim CEO, of the California Region for Providence Health and Services.

The Honorable Assemblyman Cameron Smyth, 38th District, who is a member of the California State Assembly Committee on Health, moderated the panel. The spirited discussion centered on the benefits and impact of Healthcare Reform on the community, including how to keep healthcare costs down while integrating the thousands of newly insured to our distressed hospitals and free clinics. Numerous questions from the audience centered around the implementation of reform, what it means for the individual in Southern California, potential changes in Medicare and access to care.

“We at Regal Medical Group concentrate on quality of care, access to care and affordability of care. By being accountable for the full spectrum of patient needs, we help facilitate the provision of evidence based medical care that is not only efficient, but also is shown to have the best outcomes. This integrates very well into the new legislative directives,” said Dr. Adam Solomon, Assistant Medical Director, Regal Medical Group.

“Of the 100 hospitals in and around Los Angeles County, many are really struggling financially,” pointed out Kerry Carmody, COO and interim CEO of the California Region for Providence Health and Services. “Balancing care and costs and improving quality, is something we can only do together.”

With Los Angeles ground zero in the country for the uninsured, 1 out of every 4 under the age of 65, hospital emergency rooms and free clinics are feeling the pinch.

“Until these regulations for insurance coverage for all are implemented, we will try to extend our care to cover as many patients as we can,” said Fred Bauermeister, Executive Director of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley. “The good news is, this legislation implements new technologies for delivery systems like electronic medical records that will make our job much easier, then we can take more patients.”

“Our Community Healthcare Dialogue series provides an important opportunity to hear from the community on a critically important issue. No other medical group similar to us is sponsoring these types of events,” said Dr. Richard Merkin, President and CEO of Heritage Provider Network. “We are happy to fill the need and help the community understand the changes that our coming in our healthcare delivery system, and continue to look for better ways to provide quality healthcare with feedback from our community and our business leaders.”

Woodhaven Furniture Industries Announced as New Name for Aaron’s, Inc. Furniture Manufacturing Plants

ATLANTA, July 23 /CEO News Info/ — Aaron’s, Inc. (NYSE:AAN) announced today that it has changed the name of its 11 furniture and bedding manufacturing plants from MacTavish Furniture Industries to Woodhaven Furniture Industries. The name change is synonymous with the Woodhaven brand of products the Company manufactures and accompanies a move toward greater green practices within the manufacturing process. A full rebranding effort including a new logo supports the name change.

“Our manufacturing operations have undergone substantial changes over the past few years, namely a movement toward greener practices,” said Aaron’s President and CEO, Robert C. Loudermilk, Jr. “We also recognized our plants are best known for the Woodhaven product brand, so we believe this is the perfect time to rebrand accordingly. Our new logo of a green tree not only represents our commitment to the environment, but it signifies what Aaron’s is all about – strength, stability, growth and community responsibility.”

Aaron’s has implemented a number of actions in its effort to go green at its manufacturing plants, including the recycling of all scrap materials, the use of sustainable wood products in furniture, the use of raw materials containing at least 25 post-consumer content, skylight panels to reduce the use of light fixtures and energy consumption, the use of wood waste for heating, and the implementation of electronic documentation processes to reduce the amount of paper used. With these efforts in place, Aaron’s reduced landfill waste at its Coolidge and Cairo, Georgia locations by approximately eight million pounds and generated a cost savings of nearly $250,000 in 2009.

“We’re at the forefront of the green movement in the furniture manufacturing industry,” said Mike Jarnigan, Aaron’s Vice President, Manufacturing. “Aaron’s is proud to make its furniture, upholstery and bedding right here in the U.S., and it’s important that we do everything in our power to protect the environment in our own backyard. As we like to say at Woodhaven, we’re saving the world, one sofa at a time.”

The Woodhaven Furniture Industries division operates 11 facilities in five states, with a twelfth facility scheduled to open in Phoenix later this year. Most production is shipped to Aaron’s Company-operated and franchised stores. The division manufactured approximately $72 million at cost of furniture and bedding in 2009. The ability to control quality, durability, styling, cost and supply through Company-operated manufacturing facilities is a distinct competitive advantage. In addition to producing high quality upholstered furniture and bedding, Woodhaven is a key employer in the communities where plants are located.

About Aaron’s, Inc.

Aaron’s, Inc. (NYSE:AAN), the nation’s leader in the sales and lease ownership and specialty retailing of residential furniture, consumer electronics, home appliances and accessories, has more than 1,730 Company-operated and franchised stores in 48 states and Canada.
