02/21/2007

AUGUSTA, Maine, February 21 – GHS Data Management, a healthcare management company with offices in Augusta, Maine, and Des Moines, Iowa, announced this week that James A. Clair has been named Chief Executive Officer. John Grotton, R.Ph., who has worked in various management capacities at GHS since 1998, has been named Executive Vice President for Pharmacy Services.

“GHS has experienced significant growth over the last few years. This change allows Jim to use his management, business development and financial skills to run the company, while allowing John to focus on the company’s growing pharmacy operations” said Vickie Waldron Mulkern, President of GHS Data Management.

Clair has been with GHS since 2001, having most recently served as Chief Operating Officer. Prior to that he spent nearly 18 years working on the non-partisan staff at the Maine State House, including stints as the Executive Director of the Legislative Council and Director of the Office of Fiscal and Program Review.

“There are a lot of important things happening at GHS. By way of example, we have been successful in working with our clients to aggressively manage their prescription benefit costs. We will continue to focus on the bottom-line for our clients, while rolling out our pharmacy cost-containment model to new clients as well,” said Jim Clair, the new CEO. “We are also refining our program integrity and data center functions to further assist our Medicaid clients. We are a smaller company in our market space, which allows us to be completely oriented toward the needs of our clients.”

“On a personal level, it is a privilege to work with such a great staff here at GHS and to partner with such innovative public and private sector clients,” Clair said.

GHS also announced the hiring of Dr. Laureen Biczak, who will serve as Associate Medical Director.
