Crawford & Company Contributes $10,000 to Doctors Without Borders for Haitian Medical Relief Efforts

ATLANTA, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Crawford & Company (NYSE: CRDA; CRDB), the world's largest independent provider of claims management solutions, has contributed $10,000 to Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) to aid the group's medical relief efforts in Haiti.

"Due to the nature of our business, we have witnessed first-hand the ongoing crisis in Haiti caused by last week's earthquake," said Jeffrey T. Bowman, Crawford's president and chief executive officer. "Because of the critical need for medical care, we believe that a contribution to Doctors Without Borders will be the most effective one we can make at this time."

According to the MSF website (www.doctorswithoutborders.com), the organization is currently operating in a number of locations in and around the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. More than 1,500 patients have received treatment at a hospital in Martissant, and MSF also recently began working in Port-au-Prince's General Hospital. After delays, the construction of an inflatable hospital also has begun.

"This is a disaster of unimaginable proportions for the people of Haiti, and, indeed, for a number of our employees who have suffered the loss of loved ones in this terrible tragedy. We encourage our employees who are able to do so to consider contributing to this relief organization or others of their choice to support the efforts being made in Haiti," Bowman said.
