SUNRISE, Fla. - Mar. 12 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors of Interim HealthCare Inc. announces the appointment of Russ Cooper as President and CEO.

"The success of our company is related to a stable network of entrepreneurs who understand their markets and operate on a local level while enjoying the advantages of being part of the Interim HealthCare network," said Al Sorensen, Co-founder and Vice Chairman. "Our franchise owners are enthusiastic about the future direction of the company under the leadership of Russ."
"The Board looked long and hard to find a superbly qualified successor to Al Sorensen, who is retiring as CEO after more than 40 years of leadership in the Interim network. We are delighted that Russ Cooper has decided to join our company," said David Lobel, Interim's Chairman and Managing Partner of Sentinel Capital Partners, Interim's control shareholder.
"Spencer Stuart was instrumental in helping us find Russ who possesses the leadership and franchising experience required to grow Interim and serve our franchise network. We are very excited to have Russ on board and look forward to working closely with him. We are also thrilled that Al Sorenson will remain on Interim's Board as Vice Chairman and help us and Russ over the coming years," added Lobel.

His extensive franchise career also includes 10 years as Senior Vice President and General Manager of franchising for General Nutrition Centers.
