Research Triangle Park, NC November 11, 2004. Mi-Co announced today that it has joined the Association for Home and Hospice Care of North Carolina (AHHC) as an Affiliate member to work with leading professionals in the in-home health, hospice, and community-based care industry.

"Within days after joining, the Association provided Mi-Co with incredibly useful information regarding the data requirements specific to hospice organizations. In addition AHHC was very helpful to me in getting the most out of the national home health conference recently held in Phoenix," said Barrett Joyner, Mi-Co's Sr. VP of Marketing and Strategic Sales.

AHHC's Executive Vice President, Tim Rogers, said "We are pleased to welcome Mi-Co into our family of healthcare providers and consultants who now comprise the largest state home care and hospice trade association in the United States. I believe their state-of-the-art product will be well received by our members across North Carolina."

Mi-Co's membership with AHHC of NC will not only increase the company's visibility in the home healthcare community, but it will provide numerous opportunities to engage in educational development and networking opportunities. In November, Mi-Co will be exhibiting at the AHHC Leadership Conference in Wilmington, NC.

Current Mi-Co customers in the healthcare segment include Sutter Health in California, Wilson County (NC) Home Health Agency, Boston Public Health Commission and Cherokee Indian Hospital in Cherokee, North Carolina. Each of these cases has provided some exciting opportunities to help healthcare providers save valuable time and money through the Mi-Forms Software.
