Denver, CO -- John Prufeta, chief executive officer for Medix Resources, Inc.   
[OTCBB:MDIX], today announced the appointment of Dr. David B. Skinner, 64, to   
the firm's board of directors. Established in 1988 as a provider of medical

Oberle, and Brian McLean, MD. Concurrent with the new appointments, Joel C.

himself and is recognized as one of the most accomplished executives in the
