Paquin Healthcare announces launch of hospital-based customer loyalty program
Orlando, FL – January 28, 2008 – Paquin Healthcare Companies, Inc. today announced the launch of its new hospital-based customer loyalty program. The program, referred to as My Healthy Rewards™, is a way of rewarding hospital’s customers for using their products and services and engaging in wellness activities.

“We are pleased to announce the availability of My Healthy Rewards™. This loyalty program will play a vital role in the success of any comprehensive healthcare retail strategy by increasing customer loyalty and repeat sales,” said Tony Paquin, founder and CEO of Paquin Healthcare Companies, Inc.

My Healthy Rewards™ members can accumulate reward points based on their retail purchases, utilization of hospital or clinical services, or other healthcare related or wellness activities. As reward points accrue, members may receive award certificates, special offers, merchandise discounts and special sale notifications. There is no limit—the more consumers shop, the more they earn.

The loyalty program is just one part of a consumer healthcare strategy that enables hospitals to promote their brand and provide excellent service.
Proceeds from healthcare system retail outlets provide financial support for the development of high quality healthcare in their communities. This program enables members to contribute to the well-being of their communities by using their rewards card when shopping for healthcare products and services.

The company announced that the program will initially be deployed at 27 hospitals locations and is expected to generate at least 500,000 members in its first year.
