Press Release Summary: Inaugural Nurse Next Door Award program highlights Nanaimo
franchise

Press Release Body: Nurse Next Door Home Healthcare Services is proud to announce
that, this past weekend, Chris Wilkinson and Tawnya Ketch accepted the inaugural
Nurse Next Door Franchise of the Year Award on behalf of their Nanaimo franchise.

The 2008 Nurse Next Door Awards program took place at a gala event at the Coast
Plaza Hotel in downtown Vancouver. Overlooking English Bay, the venue played host to
the historic event which brought together, for the first time, all of Nurse Next
Door’s franchise partners from across the country.

The top prize, Franchise of the Year, was based on diverse selection criteria which
included revenue, planning process, financial records, team environment, and level
of participation with the franchise program. While many franchise locations
experienced significant success, Nanaimo, BC walked away with the coveted award.

“We are definitely excited to have been singled out as the top Nurse Next Door
franchise,” said Wilkinson. “It was the support of the corporate team, the founders,
our coaches and our fellow franchise partners that really made this possible. We
hope to continue with this success over the next year and share our knowledge with
the rest of the system.”

With the success of their current franchise partners, Nurse Next Door is confident
the system will continue to grow and excel. “With our current collection of 17
locations we’ve had a great deal of success,” said Nurse Next Door co-founder Ken
Sim. “However what we are really excited for is the success the future still holds.
Over the next year we plan to add another 25 franchise locations as we continue to
build a national brand in homecare.”
