TORONTO, Aug. 17, 2011 /CNW/ - Prism Medical Ltd. ("Prism Medical or "the Company") (TSXV: PM), a leading provider of durable medical equipment and related services to the mobility disadvantaged, today announced that the Company has been awarded two major contracts by Anchor Trust ("Anchor"), one of the UK's largest Care Home Groups.
