Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr. and KSF Notify Amedisys, Inc. Investors of Lead Plaintiff Application Deadline in Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Amedysis, Inc. as Share Price Continues to Fall -- AMED

NEW ORLEANS, LA--(Marketwire - July 14, 2010) -  Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") announces that investors have only until August 9, 2010 to inquire and take advantage of their right to apply for lead plaintiff in a securities class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court, Middle District of Louisiana against Amedisys, Inc. ("Amedisys" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AMED) and certain of its top officials. No class has yet been certified in this action. On July 13, 2010, AMED shares fell as much as 30 percent to a four-year low (after falling as much as 22 percent on July 1, 2010) after the home health and hospice care provider forecast second-quarter earnings below analysts' estimates. According to Reuters, an RBC Capital Market Analyst downgraded AMED shares to "sector perform" from "outperform" due to increased government scrutiny.
