FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contexo Media® Acquires Dorland Healthcare Information

The acquisition marks Contexo’s continued expansion into critical healthcare information markets; Dorland case management products build on growing published and internet offerings.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – November 30, 2007 – Contexo Media today announced the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Dorland Healthcare Information (DHI), a leading information provider to the professional healthcare case management community. DHI has provided healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists, nurses, case
managers, and other members of the care coordination team with an extensive suite of Enewsletters, magazines, directories, continuing education programs and Internet products for over 50 years. Its leading products include Case in Point magazine and the Case Management Resource Guide, both of which are official publications of the Case Management Society of America (CMSA).

Commenting on the acquisition, Kevin Marcum, chief executive officer of Contexo Media said, “Dorland’s capability in providing the in-depth resources to healthcare case management professionals across the United States provides a wonderful opportunity for us to expand into that information market. Our immediate focus will be to work with Dorland customers in order to continue to deliver market-leading value while expanding the products and services we offer to
solve their growing information and education needs.”

The Dorland product line is anchored by two very well-known publications, Case in Point (CIP) and the Case Management Resource Guide (CMRG). Case in Point, the official magazine of the Case Management Society of America, serves as an important source for cutting-edge clinical topics that challenge healthcare professionals as they strive to provide safe, evidence-based and cost-effective care. The latest issues, trends, and national news highlighted in CIP encourage action and promote professional growth and development, as well as assist busy professionals in striking the balance necessary to meet the complex needs of patients while continuing their personal growth. In addition, CIP shares innovative tools, technology, and resources necessary to meet the diverse needs of patients. Case in Point can be seen online at www.caseinpointmagazine.com.

Since 1990, the Case Management Resource Guide has provided case managers with the detailed information they need to confidently meet the needs of their patients. The online version, www.cmrg.com, is visited by thousands of customers each month and both products feature more than 130,000 detailed product and service listings. Distributed to over 20,000 highly trained case managers and care coordinators, CMRG and CMRG.com feature listings for alternative medicine, behavioral health, disease management, homecare services, long-term care, medical equipment providers and product distributors, national and regional providers and networks, pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation providers, specialty providers, and transportation providers.

Additionally, the company produces a weekly care management news and resource blog written by industry leader Anne Llewellyn, RN.C, MS, BHSA, CCM, CRRN called Across My Desk.

Treavor Peterson, President of Contexo Media said, “We are pleased to be associated with the long legacy of Dorland case management solutions and believe this business will significantly advance our existing resource guides and directories. We look forward to continuing to support the critical information needs of these healthcare professionals.”
