New York Health Care, Inc. derives all of its income by providing home healthcare services to New York City and surrounding counties in New York State and New Jersey. Since 2004, however, the company has embarked on a course that would divest this business in favor of concentrating on the activities of a wholly owned subsidiary, Bio Balance, developer of treatments for chronic gastrointestinal disorders in an effort to create a pure-play pharmaceutical company. New York Health Care is a public company, trading on a Pink Sheet basis since being delisted by the NASDAQ in 2004.
