Crdentia’s Investment in Healthcare Addresses Baby Boomer Demand Market Opportunity
September 17, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
Baby boomers retirement approaching, strict immigration policy, medical college capacity shortage contribute open new challenges and opportunities for medical placement corporations, such as CrdentiaCrdentia Corp. (OTCBB:CRDT) http://www.crdentia.com , a leading healthcare staffing company, specializing in nurse placement in Sun Belt states. According to Luis Leung, AudioStocks Director “Over the last quarter, Crdentia has adopted new management leadership, a new direction focused on the Sun Belt markets, a new look and a newly improved outlook. We are pleased to help communicate their new message to existing and new stakeholders alike”.
Recent analytical publication in Wall Street Journal indicates the following trends:
1. US immigration policy contributes to nurses shortage: “dysfunctional U.S. immigration system contributes to labor shortages in agriculture…[and] also left the U.S. with an undersupply of nurses that threatens patient care”
2. Baby boomers retirement approach: “All agree that the coming retirement of 77 million baby boomers means something will have to give”
3. Nurses wage surge: “In California, annual average salaries for full-time registered nurses grew to $69,000 in 2006 from $52,000 in 2000, a 32% gain.”
4. College space shortage: “In 2005 nursing schools rejected 147,000 qualified applicants, citing lack of classroom space and clinical placement sites for students”
5. Foreign nurses as short term solution: “The long-term solution here is to increase nursing faculty and teaching facilities. But in the short run, Congress could help enormously by easing the limit on foreign nurses allowed entry to the U.S. That's what lawmakers did in 2005 when they allocated 50,000 extra green cards with a priority for foreign nurses.”
These and other trends opens great opportunity and positive challenge for such medical staffing and recruiting corporations as Crdentia
