We are pleased to announce that on Friday, October 17, Advanced Respiratory

effectively joined Hill-Rom Company, Inc., the health care subsidiary of

Hillenbrand Industries, Inc.

While change is to be expected when two companies merge, we assure you that

these changes will not impact your patients' continued use of The Vest

airway clearance system or our dedication to serving valued customers.

As our customer, you will find it is " business as usual. " Advanced Respiratory

was built on a simple, yet important premise - " Our success depends on doing the

right thing for each patient. " Hill-Rom shares this philosophy. Whether you have

been recommending The Vest system to your patients for years, or have recently

written your first prescription - we will continue to work with you to ensure

that our patient-focused programs and services support you.

What will change? Advanced Respiratory will now be known as Hill-Rom Company,

Inc. Hill-Rom has more than 70 years of experience collaborating with health

care professionals around the world to safely deliver the critical support

necessary for efficient, effective patient care. There are roughly nine million

Americans fighting chronic lung conditions who could be breathing easier with

effective airway clearance therapy. By adding The Vest system to Hill-Rom's

growing clinical business, we can provide these patients with even greater

access to the therapy they need.

If you have any questions related to this merger, please contact us at
