WORLD HEALTH ALTERNATIVES, INC. CLOSES $2 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT

World Health Alternatives, Inc. (OTC BB: WHAI), a premier medical staffing company that provides medical, professional and administrative staffing services to the healthcare industry, announced today that it has closed a private placement transaction pursuant to which it sold two million shares of its Common Stock to certain investors for an aggregate purchase price of $2 million. The transaction will not dilute the Company's shareholders because the Company also intends to redeem an aggregate of two million shares of its Common Stock for no consideration or compensation from Richard McDonald, the Company's President, Marc Roup, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and another shareholder, with the specific amounts redeemed from each to be determined at a later time.

Commenting on the transaction, Richard McDonald, President of World Health Alternatives, said, "This additional capital infusion will provide us with increased flexibility in pursuing our growth strategy in 2004. Our activities in December 2003, which included the acquisition of Superior Staffing and the investment in the Company by highly regarded investors, helped set the stage for 2004, a year in which the Company intends to aggressively execute its business plan and provide greater value for its shareholders."
