InfuSystem Holdings Names Gregg Lehman, Ph.D. to Board [Health & Beauty Close - Up](Health & Beauty Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) InfuSystem Holdings, Inc., a national provider of infusion pumps and related services for the healthcare industry in the United States, announced that the InfuSystem Board of Directors has nominated Gregg O. Lehman, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of MGC Diagnostics Corp., a global medical technology company, to stand for election to the Board at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. "We are pleased that Dr. Lehman has agreed to join our Board," said Ryan Morris, InfuSystem's Executive Chairman. "He offers an extensive range of healthcare-related experience that we can draw upon to deliver increased value to both patients and shareholders. Further, his demonstrated record of success growing value as an entrepreneur is consistent with the business culture we have instilled across the Company." According to a release, Dr. Lehman's election would increase the number of InfuSystem Board members to six. All incumbent Directors are also seeking one-year terms. InfuSystem's Annual Meeting of Shareholders is scheduled to be held on May 8, at the Company's headquarters in Madison Heights, MI. Morris added that the transformative business and financial progress InfuSystem has achieved now enables the Company to attract the highly qualified, experienced healthcare professionals needed to spur future growth. "This is especially gratifying given the condition of the Company when our activist-led team gained control two years ago. We have created a far more unified organization and successfully implemented governance best practices. Further, we have set up incentives for shareholder-alignment among employees at all levels. Appropriately, I plan to step down from my executive responsibilities following the shareholder meeting and assume the title of Board Chairman." Prior to joining MGC in 2011, Dr. Lehman served as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Health Fitness Corp., a fitness-center management company, for five years. In a long career, he has also held numerous senior-level executive and governance positions in the medical and education industries including CEO of Inspiris, Inc., a health care management company; CEO of Gordon Health Solutions, Inc., which provides lifestyle and disease management programs to employers and health plans; CEO of the National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH) in Washington, D.C.; and President of Taylor University in Indiana. Additionally, he has also authored numerous articles on the issue of patient safety.
