Hi Everyone:

Hoping all of you are doing well and enjoying the summer months. As we move forward at OEHN and keep pace with a tough economy, competitive business models and consistent challenges and opportunities in managing our business – it’s appropriate I provide a mid-year review on OEHN.

I first want to say we have had a consistent and respectable performance regarding the financial component of our business over the last six months. Under the leadership of Tom and Lee, we have maintained a steady balance in managing and monitoring our cost structure and revenue stream. The growth philosophy at OEHN has been built on prudent, cautious and incremental growth. Our “boutique” style company lends itself to this charter and has held up over the four year tenure of the OEHN brand. The day to day activities keep all of us busy, value driven and purposeful in our job roles. We continue to chart our course and juggle multiple corporate objectives and execution of our short and long term strategies.

Speaking of brand, over the last six months our brand image and positive perceived value in the market has opened up doors to winning five new Medical Director Clients with companies who are significant in global brand reputation. We are thrilled they have chosen our people, services, reputation and expertise in delivering solutions. In addition, OEHN’s disability product line and other service solutions continue to deliver value to the many market segments we serve.

Regarding our Disability product line, we are awaiting new books of business in August and continue to concentrate on growing this line. It can be described as an extremely competitive and difficult market to penetrate. We have made strides. Complimenting our full-time physician base, we are fortunate to have a high caliber of physicians supporting our record review needs such as Dr. Davis and Dr. Garb who have proved valuable and consistent in their contributions. We thank all of our per diem physicians for their work.

On February 12, 2008, OEHN hosted the 2nd annual Lewis H. Millender, MD Educational Series event at the Waltham Woods Conference Center. The event was titled: “Risk versus Benefits of Short and Long Term Opiate Use and The Psychiatrist at the Workplace.” The featured speakers, Dr. Brian Johnson and Dr. David Rosmarin shared their expertise through case studies and answering audience questions. CME and CEU credits were awarded to the 75 plus occupational health professionals who attended the event.  As a first, Dr. Winters and Dr. Okurowski honored Dr Walter Panis as the first recipient of the OEHN “Occupational Achievement Award”.

We have continued to provide the New England Occupational Health market with other marketing events, including an Industrial Hygiene Seminar and planning is in process for a CPR training course along with a Total Disability Management seminar scheduled for the fall. Please review our enhanced web site where you will find a magnitude of information concerning OEHN.

Also, in April, we were proud to announce Dr. Winters honored by the Harvard School of Public Health as “Clinical Professor of the Year Award”.

In closing, I am pleased to announce the addition of two new full-time members to the OEHN team. Dr. Abe Timmons (Medical Director) and Luann Loughlin, NP.

The best to all in the days ahead.
