American CareSource Holdings President & CEO, David S. Boone, Named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year(R) 2009

DALLAS, TX, Jul 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
American CareSource Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANCI) today announced that
David S. Boone, its President and Chief Executive Officer, received the
prestigious and coveted Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year(R) 2009
Award in the health services category in Southwest Area- North. According
to Ernst & Young LLP, the award recognizes the country's outstanding
entrepreneurs who are building and leading dynamic, growing businesses.
Mr. Boone was selected by an independent panel of judges, and the award
was presented at a gala event at the Majestic Theater in Dallas, Texas,
on June 27.

"This is truly an award for our entire company, not any one individual,"
said Mr. Boone. "This accomplishment is a reflection of the quality people
that comprise American CareSource, our outstanding leadership team, and
the culture we are creating. Most importantly, it is a direct result of
the passion all of us have towards the goal of making health care more
affordable and changing the health care industry for the better."

As President and Chief Executive Officer beginning in 2007, David Boone
brought external credibility, passion, and a vision for the future to
American CareSource. Borrowing on his health plan development past, his
strategy execution experience, and his belief that analysis and analytics
are important to the success of a company, Mr. Boone transformed American
CareSource into a thriving, publicly traded company that topped the NASDAQ
Capital Market performance charts in 2008.

Mr. Boone's core belief is that successful companies must have the right
culture. At American CareSource Mr. Boone created an environment where
every staff member believes in what the Company is doing -- saving the
consumer money and changing the health care landscape. With his carefully
cultivated management team -- the foundation of the Company's future
success -- Mr. Boone's vision of the future now focuses on continuing
American CareSource's rapid growth and further expanding its profitability
and cash flow as the business scales.

The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year(R) Awards celebrate their 23rd
anniversary this year. The program honors entrepreneurs who have
demonstrated exceptionality in such areas as innovation, financial
performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.

"We are proud to recognize the achievements of David Boone," said Chris
Abston, Ernst & Young LLP Entrepreneur Of The Year Program Director for
Southwest Area- North. "Winners of the Entrepreneur Of The Year Award
build leading businesses and contribute significantly to the strength of
our region's economy. Their success helps our area grow stronger."

As a Southwest Area- North award winner, Mr. Boone is now eligible for
consideration for the Ernst & Young LLP Entrepreneur Of The Year 2009
national program. Award winners in several national categories, as well as
the overall national Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year(R) Award
winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala in Palm Springs,
California on November 14, 2009. The awards are the culminating event of
the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum, the nation's most prestigious
gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.
