Florida`s Miller Construction Company and Moss & Associates Launch New Statewide Healthcare Construction Company

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Two leading healthcare construction firms have joined forces to launch Moss
Miller Healthcare, a unique company designed to meet the growing demand for
hospitals, clinics and research institutions across the state of Florida.

Moss Miller Healthcare is a fusion of healthcare specialist teams from Moss &
Associates and Miller Construction Company, both recognized innovators in
healthcare construction. With a seasoned staff of healthcare preconstruction and
construction experts, Moss Miller Healthcare is positioned to grow into the
premier healthcare builder in Florida.

"The economy has kept the lid on Florida healthcare work, but with construction
costs lower than they`ve been since the 1980s, we`re beginning to see requests
for significant hospital projects," said Joe Harris, executive vice president of
the new company. "As hospitals` financial investments recover, we expect the
flow of projects will accelerate," he added.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

While the Fort Lauderdale-based Moss and Miller firms remain independent as two
of the state`s most prominent construction services companies, "joining forces
for the long term specifically to pursue opportunities in healthcare builds on
our companies` strengths and our established working relationship," said Wayne
Hannaka, vice president of the new entity.

Executive team members of the new Moss Miller Healthcare venture are responsible
for having overseen more than $2.5 billion collectively in medical facility
construction projects. "Our team brings each project the insights of veteran
experts plus the progressive ideas of project managers who think strategically,"
added Hannaka.

Miller Construction Company has a 20-year South Florida healthcare construction
track record, with proven expertise in meeting stringent requirements of the
state`s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Fully 100 percent of
Miller`s 55 hospital and other healthcare facility projects passed in all final
inspections by AHCA. The company most recently completed a multi-phase
renovation for Cleveland Clinic Florida and has worked on dozens of complex
projects for Holy Cross Hospital.

Moss & Associates, one of the state`s largest construction management firms, has
an executive team whose members directed construction of landmark medical
centers from Miami to Orlando and Tampa Bay. The company recently completed two
clinical facilities for Leon Medical Centers, as well as the $72 million
University of Miami Biomedical Research Building. The firm has offices in Fort
Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa and Ocala.

Smooth Operations

"Blending our expert healthcare teams gives us a strong, cost-effective platform
for growth," said Hannaka. "Our operational systems are already in place through
several joint ventures, and our people have a shared commitment to exceptional
service and craftsmanship."

Since 2004, Moss and Miller have joint ventured on projects including Nova
Southeastern University`s massive University Center, Performing Arts Center and
The Commons dormitory, plus the Himmarshee Landing residential/retail/office
complex in Fort Lauderdale and the San Remo Plaza office/retail facility in
Miami.

The two firms` CEOs, Bob Moss and Tom Miller, have been industry colleagues and
friends since they met in the 1970s. Bob Moss founded Moss & Associates in 2004,
and has since built some of the state`s largest, most complex mixed-use,
corrections and other commercial projects. Miller Construction Company, founded
in 1973, has built its niche with mid-sized commercial projects throughout South
Florida. Both businesses focus on earning long-term client relationships rather
than "chasing projects."
