Passport Health Vaccinates and Educates International Travelers: Unique Franchise Opportunity for Medical and Non-Medical Owners

    BALTIMORE, MD, April 22, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When traveling abroad, education is often as important as the vaccinations. At Passport Health, travelers receive all the tools they need to be informed and protected during international trips.

"We don't just vaccinate, we educate," said Fran Lessans, President and CEO of Passport Health. "Our consultations last about 45 minutes and include a comprehensive itinerary and specific topics about your travels. Depending on your destination, topics may include the dangers of sunburn at high altitude, possible parasitic infections, vaccine preventable diseases and foods to avoid."

The one-stop travel medicine clinics specialize in safety and security travel information, and carry all vaccines necessary to protect travelers on their vacation, mission trip, safari, study abroad semester, business trip or inter-country adoption. The clinics also stock a variety of hard-to-find travel products, such as bed nets and repellents, so travelers are fully prepared for whatever challenges arise during their journey.

Passport Health is the largest private provider of travel medical/immunization services in the United States, and the only nationwide network of vaccine clinics, providing immunizations for school, camp, wellness, immigration and naturalization, bio-defense, disaster response and military readiness. The clinics even stock Anthrax vaccine for Department of Defense contractors and first responders.

"We have the ability to deliver services in our offices or on-site at corporations, schools or churches," Lessans said. "Companies can schedule on-site flu clinics to help protect the health of their employees."

The first Passport Health office opened in 1994, and was immediately successful. Three years later, the company began franchising and currently has over 160 locations nationwide. Today, Passport Health is a household name in many areas, and many great territories are still available.

"We offer a unique, low start-up cost and low-overhead franchise investment opportunity for both medical and non-medical owners," said Lessans. "The concept is simple and the opportunity is beyond a job, as we give territories for development without extra fees per location."

New franchisees receive comprehensive operating manuals and one full business week of training at corporate headquarters in Baltimore. They also receive ongoing training and support as well as the benefits of Passport Health's advanced information technology.

Passport Health leads the industry in information technology, which is deemed necessary and in tandem to the business and organizational strategy. The company even developed its own Enterprise-Wide Resource Planning System, incorporating data mining, tracking, accounting and electronic medical records, among other functions.

"A Passport Health franchise is ideal for ex-corporate managers who want an exciting, simulating and challenging low-risk medical business," Lessans said. "You deal with pleasant and interesting clientele, while building a business you can sell for a better retirement."
