HealthSpring, Inc. (NYSE:HS) today announced that John T. Fox,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Emory Healthcare, Inc.,
has joined its Board of Directors. Fox’s extensive experience in
leading healthcare systems and other healthcare organizations
should strengthen the Board’s abilities to, among other things,
confront and respond to the challenges presented by recent federal
health insurance reform.
Since 2002, Mr. Fox has been the President and CEO of Emory
Healthcare, Georgia’s largest and most comprehensive healthcare
system and one of the South’s leading academic medical centers.
Emory Healthcare has approximately 1,400 licensed patient beds,
10,000 employees and 20 health centers operating throughout Metro
Atlanta. Prior to joining Emory Healthcare, Mr. Fox was executive
vice president, in charge of financial management, acquisitions,
HMO performance, quality performance, infrastructure, and other
activities for Clarian Health (a regional healthcare system and
academic medical center in Indianapolis, Indiana) and a vice
president and chief financial officer for The Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. Fox began his career as a
healthcare consultant with Coopers & Lybrand. He holds a
bachelor’s degree from Washington University (St. Louis) and a
Masters in Business Administration.
“John Fox, like HealthSpring, is committed to the long-term
transformation of the way healthcare is delivered in the United
States,” said Herbert A. Fritch, Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of HealthSpring. “His background and diversity of
experience bring extensive operating depth and a fundamental
understanding of U.S. public health policy to our Board of
Directors and expand our capabilities as we evolve our Medicare
product lines and enter potential new lines of business. As Chief
Executive Officer of Emory Healthcare, he has led its four
hospitals and two large physician groups to be a leader in the
delivery of high-quality clinical care in a patient-centric manner,
which are core tenets to HealthSpring’s Medicare operations. John
will be a valuable asset to our Board, to our stockholders, and,
personally, to me as we react to health insurance reform and grow
our business.”
