FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARLINGTON, VA--Capitol Partners, one of the Mid-Atlantic region's premier private equity firms, has announced the completion of its acquisition of the ARM Division of Amedisys, Inc., a publicly-traded alternate-site health care company for an undisclosed amount. According to T.J. Jubeir, managing partner of the firm, "These assets, which include Amedisys' management services and proprietary home health care information systems software, will complement and further strengthen Capitol Partners' existing investments in home health care."

The private equity firm's ultimate objective is to create the premier professional services company to the home health care industry, cost-effectively managing a home health care agency's administrative tasks and thereby permitting the agency to focus on what it does best--providing care to needy patients. While the near- and medium-term prospects for home health care providers remain cloudy, at best, the investment firm continues to believe in the industry's strong long-term fundamentals.

Home health care remains the lowest cost delivery system for sub-acute health care services and, therefore, the industry will continue to exhibit exceptional growth over the long-term. Capitol Partners believes that patient investors, with a long-term investment horizon, can earn significant returns in this contrarian investment.
