Third Acquisition This Year for the 153-Year-Old Healthcare Services Company

Milwaukee, Wis. – Aug. 9, 2011 –CEO Cynthia (Dohmen) LaConte announced today that the Dohmen Company has acquired Centric Health Resources, Inc. Based in Chesterfield, MO., Centric is a nationwide, Patient-Centered Health Management® organization, serving patients with rare, ultra-orphan disorders. Centric provides service offerings to biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturers, including reimbursement expertise, direct-to- patient dispensing, delivery of specialty pharmaceuticals, peer health coaching and clinical support from registered nurses.

LaConte said Dohmen acquired Centric as part of its strategy to join together a series of exceptional healthcare companies dedicated to reducing cost, complexity and conflict within the healthcare supply system.

“Centric’s services cut healthcare costs by providing a single-point, fee-for-service direct model that has been constructed to better connect patients with biopharma innovators. In addition, Centric increases security within the supply chain– from point-of-production to patient– through its closed-loop distribution process. Finally, patient compliance is improved through Centric’s coaching, clinical support and education programs,” said LaConte. “Like all Dohmen companies, Centric is conflict-free. It is not owned by a payor or distributor, does not own product or work on margins, and aligns solely with the interests of manufacturers and patients. We’re very proud to have Centric join the Dohmen family of companies.”

Craig Kephart, Centric’s former CEO, will serve as division president. “Becoming a Dohmen company strengthens our future and our ability to serve our patients and clients. Dohmen is a perfect fit for us. Our business models align, we share their values, and we’re pleased to join an organization with a longstanding reputation for integrity and accomplishment,” said Kephart.

This is the third acquisition this year for Dohmen. In February, it acquired PlanIt, Inc., a healthcare analytics company based in Germantown, Wis., and in June, it acquired MedComm Solutions, a medical information company based in the San Francisco Bay area.
