PEABODY, MA, Jun 02, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- PHC, Inc. (AMEX: PHC) d.b.a. Pioneer Behavioral Health, a leading provider of inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services and pharmaceutical research, has been invited to present at the Avondale Partners Behavioral Healthcare Conference to be held at the Millennium Broadway Hotel in New York City on Thursday, June 12, 2008.

The conference will bring together institutional investors and industry executives from public and private companies in the behavioral healthcare sector. The format for the seminar includes individual company presentations and a private company luncheon panel discussion.

Pioneer's president and CEO, Bruce A. Shear, is scheduled to present at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The presentation will be Web simulcast and available for replay via a link on the company's website at www.phc-inc.com.

Shear will discuss the latest national trends in providing behavioral health services, and present an update on the progress of Pioneer. This includes the recently announced continued expansion in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it secured a 93,000 sq ft building site for two new behavioral treatment facilities about 15 miles southwest of downtown.

After a new outpatient site becomes operational, the company plans to build a behavioral health complex, including inpatient and wellness services, which could generate more than $25 million annually. This will augment the company's recently opened 55-bed Seven Hills Behavioral Institute in Henderson, NV, southeast of Las Vegas.
