Quantum Group, Inc. (OTC:QTUM) (BULLETIN BOARD: QTUM) , announces its
sponsorship of the Florida International University Provost Lecture Series --
2004. The inaugural session of the Provost Lecture Series entitled: "Higher
Education: Are We Making the Grade?" was held in June. Quantum Group President
and CEO, Noel J. Guillama, said of the event: "A solid foundation was
established with this inaugural lecture from which to further enhance future
programs, and to bring thought-provoking knowledge and opportunity to the
residents of Wellington and the surrounding western communities. We, of The
Quantum Group, are both honored and proud to be part of this initiative with
Florida International University and The Village of Wellington." Guillama
added, "The strong presence and participation of both residents and local
government officials from within the western communities was vital to the
success of the lecture. All in attendance walked away with a clearer
understanding of the issues surrounding education in our community, and more
determined than ever to work towards solutions."

The series of six lectures will explore various issues that are of great
priority to the residents of the western communities, such as education,
healthcare, demographics diversity, biotechnology, conservation and the
environment. Top FIU experts in those fields have begun to address these topics
of interest to the western communities, beginning with the June lecture, and
will continue on the third Tuesday of each month for the remainder of the year.
Through this lecture series, FIU aims to facilitate ongoing citizen
involvement, a key objective of residents in the western communities.

Positive Prognosis?" will be held Tuesday, July 20, 2004.  This lecture will be
presented by Dr. Robert J. Trenschel, D.O., M.P.H., Clinical Services Director
for the Palm Beach County Health Department, and by Dr. H. Virginia McCoy,
Ph.D., professor at FIU's Dr. Robert R. Stempel School of Public Health.

A panel of community leaders within the health profession will be on hand for a
follow-up discussion moderated by Anthony Gigliotti, President of Healthcare
180 Degrees, a healthcare consulting firm, immediately following the
presentation.  Among the panelists of key area health professionals are Kevin
DiLallo, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Wellington Regional
Medical Center; Dr. Carmine Priore, Councilman of the Village of Wellington;
Dr. Jeffrey Bishop, D.O., Board Certified Family Practice Physician; and
Heather J. Rohan, Chief Executive Officer of Palms West Hospital.

"The future growth and demographic changes that our community and South Florida
as a whole will face in the future will bring many challenges and opportunities
for healthcare providers to work together with the community to improve the
health status and quality of life for its members," said Rohan with respect to
the planned discussion.
