EMIS Inc. Hires New Vice President Sales and Marketing


EDMONTON, ALBERTA - (CCNMatthews - July 3, 2007) - EMIS Inc. has appointed Heather Linkletter into the newly created position of Vice President, Sales and Marketing. As EMIS continues to grow in Canada, Ms. Linkletter's main focus will be providing customer-centred strategic leadership and management of all sales and marketing activities for EMIS.

Ms. Linkletter has over 20 years' experience in the healthcare industry, derived from executive leadership and clinical positions held working directly within Canada's health system, and senior positions held within companies focused on the delivery of products, services and systems that support and sustain healthcare.

Most recently, Ms. Linkletter has worked in a senior sales and business development role with a leading international manufacturer/developer of medical equipment and software, with additional operational responsibility for all implementation and installations. In this role, she experienced major adoption success and more importantly, significant and positive outcomes experienced by customers.

Eric Gombrich, Chief Operating Officer of EMIS Inc., said: "We are excited at the opportunity to have someone of Heather's calibre join our management team allowing a dedicated team to more acutely focus on delivering PCS to our existing client base, while a separate team is enabled to convey the value of EMIS to new and prospective customers. This will accelerate our efforts to make EMIS PCS available to providers throughout Canada."

EMIS launched its Canadian operations last year, expanding on its success as the number one provider of EMR solutions in the UK and other countries. Since this time, EMIS, headquartered in Edmonton, has become recognized in Canada as one of the pre-eminent solutions able to improve the health of Canadians and the daily activities of their providers.
