VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 18, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Premier Diagnostic Health Services Inc. ("PDH") (CNSX:PDH) is very pleased to announce the signing of a Letter of Intent with Chang'an Industry Group, owner of Jiangling Hospital in Chongqing, China, building on the previously announced Memorandum of Understanding with Chang'an Industry Group.

The Letter of Intent defines in broad terms the intended structure for a joint venture partnership between Chang'an, Jiangling Hospital employees, and Premier, by which to deliver the Hospital's Master Plan for expansion, infrastructure improvement, and future management.

Chang'an plans to transfer its current ownership of Hospital land and buildings to the new joint venture partnership, proposed to be owned 50% to 55% by Premier, 35% to 42% by Chang'an, and 8% to 10% by Hospital management and staff.

The tentative launch date for major new construction and build-out is June 2012, with the total project expected to take up to three years to complete at a cost of approximately RMB200,000,000. On successful completion, this project could significantly deepen and broaden Premier's commitment to, and participation in, the health care delivery industry in China.

"During the frank and open discussions and deliberations leading to signing this Letter of Intent, Premier and its future partners developed a rapport and mutual respect that should serve us all well in the coming years of collaboration. It is a rare honour to work with partners who enjoy the high values, depth of technical skills, and business capabilities demonstrated by Chang'an Industries and Jiangling Hospital," said Denis Tusar, President and CEO of PDH.
