Interim HealthCare brings New Franchise Opportunity to RochesterJune, 2003 Interim HealthCare, the nation's largest combined provider of home care and medical staffing, has opened up the Rochester, Minnesota area for a franchise opportunity to entrepreneurs interested in being in business for themselves but not by themselves. Recent market research has shown that Rochester, combined with specific communities like Owatonna and Winona, is an outstanding service area for the company's expansion. Al Sorensen, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of the Board says, "We are looking for people with a dream and entrepreneurial spirit - those willing to work hard to be successful in their own business. Prospective franchisees can be assured we will work very closely with them from the very beginning, including the choosing of an outstanding location for a new Interim HealthCare office. "Our goal," continues Sorensen, "is to produce successful franchisees by providing the best packaged business management tools, training and support available among franchised businesses today." The combination of home care and medical staffing also provides franchisees with a platform for great success. In the next five years, home care is forecasted to grow by more than 42 percent as the nation's population continues to age. In 1994, approximately one in eight Americans was age 65 and older, and by 2030 that figure will increase to one in five (eight million - one-quarter of the nation's elderly - currently have some form of disability for which they require assistance). On a local level, within a 40-mile radius of downtown Rochester, the U.S. census estimates that 55,000 citizens are over the age of 65. Statistics show that a significant portion of this population will need some type of at-home medical and non-medical assistance. Likewise, medical staffing is rapidly growing as the ongoing nursing shortage is expected to continue well into the future. By the year 2010, in fact, the traditional, full-time, permanent employment model for medical facility staffing is expected to become the exception, rather than the norm. Adding a franchise in the Rochester area will result in valuable services for the community in addition to more jobs for professionals and paraprofessionals. Looking towards the future, Interim HealthCare expects to open as many as 150 more markets within the next five years through the continued commitment to providing the finest home health care services and medical personnel to health care facilities and industry.
