Press Release - For Immediate Release

July 21, 2003
Christiansted, St. Croix - USVI - HealthQuest opened the doors of the Virgin
Islands Kidney Center today at its new, free standing, location. The first
kidney dialysis patient was treated and the new Virgin Islands Kidney Center
is looking forward to serving many more patients in the days and months to
come.

The Virgin Islands Kidney Center is a wholly owned subsidiary of HealthQuest,
LLC, a Virgin Islands company. Its purpose is to provide comprehensive health
care to patients who suffer from kidney disease in the relaxing, warm climate
of the Eastern Caribbean.

The Virgin Islands Kidney Center is a freestanding medical facility that
provides medical services to patients with renal disease. We are dedicated to
the early diagnosis and treatment of the various kidney diseases and disease
entities, which predispose to the development of kidney disease. The Virgin
Islands Kidney Center recognizes that some patients will inevitably progress
to end stage renal disease. Its commitment to the treatment of kidney disease
necessarily dictates that care must extend to the care of patients who
require renal replacement therapy. The facility provides both hemodialysis
and peritoneal dialysis services in a comfortable, professional and friendly
setting.
