Mercy Health System, Javon Bea President and CEO: Working Mother magazine today announced Mercy Health System as one of its 2012 Working Mother 100 Best Companies. Working Mother rewarded companies based on the wide array of progressive workplace programs, including child care, flexibility, advancement and paid family leave. In addition, Mercy is named a Top 10 Best Company for Health and Wellness.

“We are very honored to be listed among the best companies for working mothers,” says Javon R. Bea, president and CEO of Mercy Health System. “Working mothers continue to make valuable contributions in all areas of Mercy Health System. It’s both our pleasure and responsibility to ensure that we create a supportive and flexible work environment that enable them to succeed.”

To recognize Mercy’s continuous leadership as a best company for working women, Mercy asked its employees (called partners) to nominate themselves or a fellow Mercy mom to be deemed Mercy’s Working Mother of the Year by submitting an essay; the essays showcased how Mercy has helped contribute to the partner’s work/life balance, allowing moms to be successful at balancing it all: a successful career, a loving family and time for themselves. After careful review of over 40 finalists, one winner was chosen, Nina Graham, RN, at Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center.

Mercy will be recognized in the October/November issue of Working Mother magazine, on WorkingMother.com and will be honored at the Work Life Congress in New York City, October 8.

MissionIR would like to highlight AdCare Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE Amex: ADK). AdCare Health Systems is an expanding national leader in the development, ownership, and management of assisted living facilities, skilled nursing and retirement communities. The company’s 3,600 employees provide high-quality care for patients and residents residing in the 44 facilities that it operates.

In the company?s news yesterday,

MissionIR announced that its interview with Boyd Gentry, the president and chief executive officer of AdCare Health Systems, is now available online. The complete interview can be heard at http://adk.missionir.com/adk/interview.html.

Mr. Gentry discussed the company?s rapid growth, its aggressive M&A program, and acquisitions that are on the horizon for 2012, which are projected to increase the company?s revenue run rate by more than 500% over 2010. Mr. Gentry additionally provided an overview of the company?s business model and discussed the background of the company?s executive team, including recent additions of new talent. Mr. Gentry emphasized AdCare?s tremendous growth, which is singular among its competitors in these challenging economic times.

?We?re the only long-term care company that is aggressively acquiring these smaller, regionally focused, privately held, nursing home operators,? Mr. Gentry stated. ?Typically, these acquisition targets are not focused on the more complex, but more profitable sub-acute segment of the business. AdCare is able to build upon the solid custodial care reputations of these smaller operators by expanding their clinical capabilities and post-acute services. Our revenues grew four-fold in 2010, and then last year we doubled to a run rate of $ 200 million. We have a number of acquisitions in the pipeline and expect by the end of this year to at least double again.?
