Customer-Focused Team to Lead Global Culture of Innovation, Technology Leadership

ROCHESTER, N.Y., May 7 - Carestream Health, Inc., announced its senior executive team and corporate operating structure. The leadership team, led by Chief Executive Officer Kevin J. Hobert and other former Kodak Health Group executives, will advance a global culture of innovation and customer focus, and ultimately position the company for continued future success.


Onex Corporation, Toronto, Canada, last week acquired the Health Group of Eastman Kodak Company in a multi-billion-dollar transaction. Upon closing, the business began operating as Carestream Health, an independent subsidiary of Onex.

Hobert and the Carestream Health executive team are driving a $2.5 billion company, which owns more than 1,000 patents in digital imaging, film and healthcare IT; employs approximately 8,100 employees serving tens of thousands of customers; and operates in 150 countries around the world.

Adding stability to a legacy of innovation, the company will be led by a seasoned team of executives responsible for providing world-class solutions in medical and dental imaging and healthcare IT; molecular imaging; and non-destructive testing.

"The creation of Carestream Health provides our employees with the unique opportunity to grow and innovate across all our product families and ultimately deliver solutions that will help customers achieve results," said Hobert, who had served as President of Kodak's Health Group. "This is the team that will build and grow Carestream Health to drive innovation across our broad portfolio of imaging and healthcare IT solutions to help customers transition to an all-digital workflow."
