InfuSystems Elects MGC Diagnostics’ CEO to Board

InfuSystems Holdings Inc., a Madison Heights, Mich.-based company that makes infusion pumps, has nominated Gregg O. Lehman. Ph.D., CEO and president of MGC Diagnostics Corporation, to be elected to its board on May 8.

“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.”

Lehman’s election would increase the number of InfuSystem board members to six. All incumbent directors are also seeking one-year terms.

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,” he said. “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, Lehman served as president, CEO and a director of Health Fitness Corporation, 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 in Washington, D.C.; and president of Taylor University in Indiana. Additionally, he has also authored numerous articles on the issue of patient safety.

“I look forward to working with Ryan and the entire InfuSystem Board, especially CEO Eric Steen, who has done so much to revitalize the strategic direction and operational performance of the company in the past year,” Lehman commented.
