 and case management services, we have been able to sustain the momentum that we have been building in our operations throughout 2000."

Detailing the Company's progress in the third quarter, Thomas noted that Concentra's Health Services division continued to post solid internal growth in the third quarter, as revenues in this business approached $106 million and increased to 55% of the Company's total revenue base.

"Same-market revenues in health services have trended higher all year, rising 11% in the third quarter and 9.6% for the year to date," Thomas added. "Importantly, these gains have been primarily driven by an increase in patient visits. We are pleased by the same-market visit growth in both our injury care and non-injury related services. We continue to view non-injury care as a very positive and profitable means of attracting new business which often times leads to a broader relationship involving a more comprehensive service offering." During the third quarter, 52% of the total visits to Concentra's occupational healthcare centers related to non-injury care, unchanged from the second quarter of 2000 and up from 51% in the third quarter last year. As of September 30, 2000, Concentra had 216 centers located in 63 markets in 32 states.
