          FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday  6am,  EST February 8, 2006

Meridian Health Systems, a division of Meridian Holdings, Inc, Inks an Exclusive
Healthcare  Services  and  Project  Teaming Agreement with  Los Angeles Hispanic
Health  Network

Culver City, California,  February  8, 2006 -- Anthony C. Dike, MD, Chairman and
CEO  of Meridian Holdings, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MRDH), announced today that
Meridian  Health  Systems, a  healthcare services division of Meridian Holdings,
Inc,  has  entered  into  an  Exclusive  Healthcare Services and Project Teaming
Agreement  with  Los  Angeles  Hispanic  Health  Network,  (LHHN), a Los Angeles
Metropolitan Hispanic Chambers  of  Commerce  initiative.

Under  the  terms of this three-year automatically renewable agreement, Meridian
will  arrange  for the provision of healthcare services on an exclusive basis to
enrolled  employees  and  relatives  of  small to medium sized Hispanic employer
groups  and  self employed individual members of LHHN, in a culturally sensitive
manner, through Meridian's network of affiliated physicians, hospitals and other
ancillary  services providers initially  within Greater Los Angeles County, with
later  expansion  to  other  areas  of  United  States  and  abroad.

The  company projects that this agreement with LHHN which initially is estimated
to  provide  increased  health  insurance  purchasing power to over 500 employer
groups mainly in Los Angeles metropolitan area, will provide revenue to Meridian
based  on  member  enrollments  and  network  access  fees.

"We  believe  that  this  initiative  by  the  Los Angeles Metropolitan Hispanic
Chambers of Commerce is a move in the right direction, since California's System
of  job-based  health  insurance--the  backbone of California's system of health
insurance--is  declining,  according to a report produced by the UCLA Center for
Health  Policy  Research.  The report also concludes that while job-based family
coverage  plummets,  children's  coverage is being protected by public insurance
programs,  such  as  Medi-Cal  and  Healthy  Families.

Pushed by a 79 percent increase in the cost of job-based family coverage for the
average  worker,  enrollment  of  dependents  dropped four percentage points for
children  and  two  percentage point for adults from 2001 to 2003.  According to
this  report,  more  than 6.6 million Californians under age 65-more than one in
five non-elderly residents-went without insurance for at least part of 2003, and
more  than  3.7  million  lacked health insurance coverage for the entire year."
said  Dike. "The increased purchasing power and collective bargaining capability
built  into  the plan will help address this problem among the LHHN membership,"
he  said.

"We  are very excited about this agreement with Meridian, since the  majority of
the work force in Southern California for small and medium sized employer groups
is  comprised  of  Hispanic  males and females most of which lacked basic health
insurance coverage. Those without health insurance were much less likely to have
seen  a  doctor,  gotten vital preventive screenings for cancer and diabetes, or
taken  medication  for high blood pressure." said Hugo Merida, President and CEO
of  Los  Angeles  Metropolitan  Hispanic  Chambers  of  Commerce.
