HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - June 22, 2010) - Spine Pain Management, Inc. (
"Our Houston team has been working with Waltham Consultants P.A. in establishing this Center for several months as a duplicate of our Houston home office Center," stated William F. Donovan, M.D., the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "The McAllen clinic is ideally located to draw patients from the lower Rio Grand Valley to include the cities of Harlingen, Brownsville and Edinburg, Texas." Donovan went on to say, "With only a few days left before the end of the second quarter, McAllen's contribution to second quarter results will be just a fraction of what we expect on an ongoing basis, however, results for this quarter should be significantly increased over our record $1.4 million Q1."
On July 13, 2010, the Company will hold its 2009 Annual Shareholders' meeting at the Company's home office in Houston, TX.
