Access Expands in Northwest

LIVERMORE, Calif., Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Rob Alston, CEO of Access, has announced the company's recent acquisition of InfoCare, Inc. located in Bellingham, Washington. This transaction, the 69^th for Access since its founding, represents the company's entrance into a new market area covering northwestern Washington State.

In addition to standard records management services, InfoCare has provided a significant volume of Release of Information (ROI) services to healthcare and legal clients for many years. These services will now be expanded along with all client offerings given the new ownership and the much broader capabilities and comprehensive systems Access provides clients.  Diana Roley, former InfoCare Operations Manager, has been named Branch Manager.

InfoCare Owner Howard Furst said, "Since we opened our doors nearly 20 years ago, it has always been my first priority to offer the highest level – and the most comprehensive – records services available in northwestern Washington. It was clear to me that Access could offer our customers even more while allowing them to do business with a single vendor in so many markets throughout the country in which they do business. This is a real win for our staff, too, since they will now have so many opportunities to grow in their new careers with Access."

"We are pleased to be expanding our Northwestern Region, enabling a greater number of businesses, law firms, health care and other organizations access to our broad range of solutions," said Access President John Chendo. "Howard Furst recognized the many benefits a sale of his company to Access would afford both his clients and his team members. I look forward to discussing these benefits with others in our industry who are considering the opportunity to partner with us."   

As the largest privately held records and information management services provider in the United States, Access now serves 31 markets across the nation and in Latin America.
