Pioneering Sales Leader Retires From Artromick

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Artromick International announced today it has initiated a succession plan for the Vice President of Sales, Charles M. Albright, who retired January 1, 2005. Thomas M. Burns, the former Hospital Sales Director for Artromick, has been named successor to Mr. Albright.

“Charlie has enjoyed a long and successful career in this business and we wish him the best as he transitions to his new life beyond Artromick,” stated Charles R. Land, Sr. Vice President of Sales for Artromick. “Charlie has always been the consummate professional and everyone throughout this industry will greatly miss his insights, energy, and unique problem-solving aptitude that always ensured a best-of-class solution for healthcare professionals.”

With nearly 35-years experience in the extended care and acute care markets, Mr. Albright is recognized as both a pioneer and key innovator of many medication management solutions that continue to enhance nursing efficiency and ensure safe medication administration. Mr. Albright has been instrumental in the success of such companies as Drustar Incorporated, Johnson & Johnson, and most recently Artromick International.

Tom Burns, who will assume the Vice President of Sales role immediately, began his career in consultative healthcare sales as a Clinical Research Liaison with Pennwalt Pharmaceutical.

This experience, as well as his recent tenure with Artromick International, offers over 25-years of healthcare sales and sales management experience to healthcare professionals in both the long-term and acute care markets.

The imminent and emerging application of technology in all Artromick market sectors presents a wonderful opportunity for all healthcare facilities and provider pharmacies to optimize medication control and management.
