WellnessFX Increases Access to Affordable Preventive Care in Major National Expansion in 46 States

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WellnessFX, Inc. (WellnessFX) a leading cloud-based health and wellness destination, has partnered with the world's largest provider of diagnostic testing to expand the company's services to more than 4,000 locations nationwide in 46 states and Washington D.C. This strategic partnership lays the foundation for the next phase in WellnessFX's plans to bring its streamlined product experience to a broad national audience.

The expansion comes as WellnessFX is experiencing rapid growth since the launch of its game-changing low-cost e-Checkup in May 2013. "In the last month, we've seen our user base more than double, and expect our membership to grow substantially by year-end," said Jim Kean, Wellness FX's chief executive officer. "The lab expansion comes at a critical inflection point for our company, enabling us to support the explosive demand."

In addition to the lab location expansion, WellnessFX now offers anyone in the U.S. the ability to input their past lab records into an intuitive online dashboard at no cost.

With the Affordable Care Act taking effect January 1, 2014, the U.S. can expect some 30 million plus residents to flood the health care system, pressure the current structure isn't built for. WellnessFX is now perfectly poised to serve the growing demands of consumers looking to get certain health questions answered directly without the hassle of appointments, waiting rooms and co-pays. WellnessFX is uniquely ahead of the competition in this space, with a history of providing consumers direct access and control over their personal health data while navigating the legal complexities of consumer diagnostics and telemedicine.

The lab expansion makes this positioning even more valuable because of the widespread availability across the country. "We're seeing increased demand for a more convenient and personalized approach to medicine. Building on the success of our Baseline diagnostics launch last year and our recent launch of e-Checkup, our expansion to more than 4,000 lab locations ensures that we can provide users with even more options in all of our states," said Brent Vaughan, Wellness FX's chief operating officer.

WellnessFX has become a trusted partner for many seeking direct access to personalized health information and advice with transparency and convenience, including Tim Ferris, entrepreneur and author of "The 4-Hour Body" and advisor for WellnessFX, who recently launched a lifestyle series with the company called "Building the Perfect Human."

In order to meet the growing demands of a more diverse customer base, WellnessFX has also recently launched a rebranded Web site with a sleek, intuitive look and feel.

With the lab expansion in place, the launch of e-Checkup and the coming changes in the health care space, WellnessFX is well positioned for capitalizing on the expected growth in this shifting market, as well opportunities in international markets including Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.
