Vasomedical Announces Reorganization of Its Board of Directors
30 6월 2010 - 5:43AM
Vasomedical, Inc. ("Vasomedical") (OTCBB:VASO), a world leader in
the noninvasive treatment of cardiovascular diseases, today
announced a reorganization of its Board of Directors to realign its
leadership to better position the company for a more diversified
business portfolio, including its exclusive sales representative
agreement for select diagnostic imaging products recently signed
with GE Healthcare. Mr. Simon Srybnik, upon his appointment as
Acting Chairman of the Board, said that "Vasomedical's strategy of
growth includes exploration of new and exciting opportunities to
meet current and future needs of the worldwide medical
marketplace. Restructuring our Board at this time should
enable the company to realize its growth potential and to achieve
greater shareholder value. I look forward to the active
involvement of our directors as we begin to undertake this
additional direction in close collaboration with GE Healthcare."
In addition to Mr. Srybnik, the new Board of Directors consists
of current members Dr. Jun Ma, President and CEO, Mr. Behnam
Moveseghi, CPA, and Dr. Derek Enlander. Joining the Board at
this time is Mr. William Dempsey, former owner and Managing
Director of Cardiac Services Ireland Ltd., a healthcare and
distribution company in Ireland and the UK. It is the
Company's intent that Mr. Dempsey, with his extensive experience in
medical device sales channels, will provide strategic input and
directorial oversight for the Company's new sales representation
business.
The Board of Directors and the Company express their greatest
appreciation to the former directors who resigned last week as part
of this structured reorganization, including Mr. Abraham E. Cohen,
who had served as its Chairman of the Board for 15 years; Dr. John
Hui, a founder of Vasomedical; and Mr. Photios Paulson, who had not
only served on the Board but also as President and CEO at different
times. Dr. Hui will remain with the company as Chief
Technology Officer as well as Chairman of our newly formed Advisory
Committee, which also includes Mr. Paul Hannigan, a former Managing
Director of Cardiac Services in Ireland, and others to be added
shortly.
"In addition to continuing to promote EECP therapy and make it
available to more people around the world, our reorganization at
this time positively demonstrates Vasomedical's commitment to move
beyond and rise above all challenges facing companies in our
industry today, and in concert with our strategic relationships
like GE Healthcare, to deliver on the promise of increasing patient
access to improved and lower cost healthcare," commented Dr. Jun
Ma. "At Vasomedical, we believe that what we do today will make a
difference tomorrow."
