(the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX: VHI) is pleased to announce a three-year expansion licensing agreement of subsidiary Intouch with Health’s (“Intouch”) patient flow solutions with University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (the “Trust” or “Dorset”).

In addition to general hospital services, the Trust provides a range of specialist services and facilities including: (i) medical and clinical oncology services for the whole of Dorset, (ii) a major trauma unit serving a population of more than 500,000 people, (iii) a state-of-the-art cardiology unit, and (iv) an award-winning orthopaedic service providing hip and knee replacements.
