SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matrix Medical Network (Matrix) announced it has reached an agreement to acquire HealthFair – the leading provider of mobile health assessment and diagnostic testing services.

Matrix provides health assessment, quality improvement and care management services through a nationwide network of over 5,800 community based providers directly to individuals in their homes and care facilities.

By making it easier for individuals to get the support and preventive tests they need, compliance and health outcomes are improved.
