29 Junio 2011 - 10:21AM
CompuMed, Inc., (Pink Sheets:CMPD),
http://www.compumed.net, a
telemedicine and
medical informatics company, has entered into an
agreement with UMMA Clinic and Los Angeles Unified School
District's (LAUSD) Fremont High School Health Center to provide
CompuMed's
electrocardiogram (ECG) telemedicine
and
CardioGramKids® technology and services to
UMMA Clinic patients and Fremont High School students. Recently,
LAUSD took over the day to day management of Fremont High in the
first ever such action by LAUSD. The district is committed to
transforming Fremont High, LAUSD's third largest high school, into
a model school. It selected UMMA Clinic, one of the nation's
most respected community clinic organizations, to develop and
manage a model school-based health center at Fremont High.
"We are honored and excited to be selected as the first
telemedicine provider to UMMA and LAUSD's new flagship clinic and
school health center," said Maurizio Vecchione, president and CEO
of CompuMed. "We will work closely with these preeminent
organizations as they develop the infrastructure and procedures
needed to serve their constituencies. It is also valuable to us as
we roll out CardioGramKids to communities throughout California and
the U.S.," Mr. Vecchione added.
CompuMed will provide UMMA and Fremont High with the company's
ECG telemedicine equipment and with over-reads performed remotely
by CompuMed's cardiologists and pediatric cardiologists. CompuMed's
CardioGramKids program was designed in tandem with pediatricians
and other healthcare providers. The program provides ECG screening
services to children and teenagers prior to their taking
psychotropic medications or participating in school or afterschool
sports programs.
"CompuMed's telemedicine technology enables UMMA Clinic and
Fremont High School to provide state of the art electrocardiogram
(ECG) screening and diagnostic services to a large number of
individuals conveniently, reliably and at a fraction of the cost of
alternative methods," said Jackie Provost, Director of Programs for
UMMA Clinic and the Fremont High School Health
Center. "CompuMed is not just a preeminent technology partner,
but a critical link to the medical specialists required to provide
everyone at UMMA and Fremont High with the highest level of service
and care," added Provost.

About UMMA Clinic
UMMA (University Muslim Medical Association) Community Clinic is
the first Muslim American founded community-based health
organization in the United States. Located in South Los Angeles, it
has a culturally and religiously diverse staff serving an equally
diverse population. UMMA's mission is to promote the
well-being of the underserved by providing access to high quality
healthcare for all regardless of ability to pay. UMMA was
started by a small group of UCLA and Charles R. Drew Medical
students in 1991. Their goal: to set up a free clinic for the
benefit of an entire community, based on the premise that
healthcare is a right and not a privilege. UMMA opened its doors as
a free clinic in 1996 and earned federal recognition as a Federally
Qualified Health Center. In its 15th year of service, UMMA has
served over 25,000 patients. UMMA now employs 30 full-time
staff and is supported by a legion of volunteers. It serves an
annual patient population of over 3,000 individuals who log an
average of over 11,000 visits annually. In June, 2011, UMMA
completed clinic expansion by doubling the number of exam rooms to
better serve its growing patient population. UMMA is currently
working with the Los Angeles Unified School District to build and
operate a model school-based health clinic at Fremont High School,
scheduled to open in May, 2012. UMMA's services include: adult
internal medicine, pediatrics, childhood immunizations, on-site
mammography, gynecology, adolescent medicine, HIV/STD testing,
laboratory services, health education, ophthalmology and
dermatology. Since UMMA's birth, over ten other Muslim founded
charitable health clinics have been established throughout the
United States. Visit UMMA Clinic at http://www.ummaclinic.org.
