This partnership was formed to reduce costs in the healthcare industry.

"Healthcare provider organizations have been severely impacted by revenue reductions from the state and federal levels, insurance companies, and employers, while costs continue to escalate. Healthcare can expect continued assaults on the price issues. It is a crucial time in this industry, and the services that Procurex provides have the potential to alleviate the financial pressure that has been placed upon the healthcare industry" said Steven Duke, Vice President of MAGNET.

In this economic downturn, more and more people are losing their jobs and subsequently are losing their healthcare benefits.
