Please help Wikipedia by adding references. See the for details. This article has been tagged since September 2007. ". While this certainly applies in general to the world in which we live, it also applies to the world in which shareholders of BlueStar Health exist. We are witnessing, first-hand, a transformation in the U.S. healthcare industry from a reactive model based on the treatment of illness to a proactive model of preventative care and wellness. It is in this sphere that BlueStar Health will play both a critical and leading role as the first mainstream and nationwide preventative care and wellness provider. The transition toward a focus on preventative care and wellness are a result of three powerful trends shaping the future of healthcare: 1.) Skyrocketing costs of treatment and insurance (Preventable illnesses are estimated to make up two-thirds of the burden of all illnesses and associated costs as U.S. healthcare expenditures now exceed $1.7 trillion annually); 2.) The demand generated by nearly 80 million aging baby-boomers seeking to feel better, look younger and live longer; and 3.) Americans increased desire to more directly control their own personal health and well-being. These trends have also precipitated legislation that addresses each of these issues, which should champion preventative care as a more mainstream treatment approach and potentially extend the treatments covered by Medicare to include preventative care. Another phenomenon validating the Company's direction is the evidence of significant investment in like minded companies.

Clearly, demand exists and the drivers for growth are present and only getting stronger. We believe that existing physical therapy clinics represent our 'doorway' to a leadership position within the sector, allowing the company to capture a leadership role in delivering services to the emerging preventative care industry. Our strategy is to enter the market early, build a defensible position, and ride the crest of industry growth by acquiring cash flow positive outpatient physical therapy practices and adding preventative care and wellness services. In addition to BlueStar's acquisition of cash flow positive facilities we will also be acquiring prime real-estate to add to our balance sheet as assets. We are currently restructuring and converting our existing Mississippi facilities from physical medicine operations to physical therapy, prevention and wellness operations. We anticipate that initiative to be completed shortly. Additionally, to date we have executed three Letters Of Intent to acquire additional facilities and are currently entering into definitive agreements. We fully expect to close at least one of these acquisitions within the next few weeks, which when integrated, will translate into significant revenue and earnings streams with healthy gross and net margins for shareholders of BlueStar Health. We are participating in a healthcare revolution and the journey we are undertaking possesses the potential to reshape the modern notion of health. We hope you will take the journey with us. Sincerely, Alfred Oglesby, CEO BlueStar Health, Inc. About BlueStar Health BlueStar Health Inc.
