Freehold, NJ , July 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MEDIFIRST SOLUTIONS, INC. (OTC: MFST) (the “Company” or “Medifirst”), a provider of innovative laser technology and specialty pharmacy drug and management consulting services is pleased to announce a shareholder update.
As recently announced, Concierge Concepts Rx (CCRx), a new division of Medifirst Solutions will provide a unique niche billing and specialty drug consulting service to independent pharmacies who are struggling to maintain profitability as well as regional chains and supermarket pharmacies seeking to incorporate specialty drugs.
As part of adding this very exciting division to Medifirst, the company has worked with the management of CCRx to drive various operational developments. Medifirst believes that it has driven past the ‘proof of concept’ stage of CCRx’s development and that it is in the best interest of the company to further align the interests of CCRx’s management with that of Medifirst. Accordingly, on July 23, 2018, Medifirst effectuated a corporate action that sets the foundation for a new capital structure to support CCRx’s growth through strategic partners and co-venture opportunities within the industry.
Commented Medifirst President Bruce J. Schoengood, “Since inception, Medifirst has never initiated a capital restructure but we believe that, with the addition of CCRx and the opportunities in the specialty drug sector, Medifirst can significantly benefit and bring much greater value to the company and its shareholders.”
The Company plans to make a formal announcement and provide more details in the upcoming days.
