ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- In its first full year as an independent global corporation, Carestream Health, Inc., introduced more than 25 new digital products and services, won several significant industry awards, and generated a range of important accomplishments across the world.

"Our employees and customers helped make this a year of significant achievement for Carestream Health, and we are working hard to drive innovation for our customers and faster growth for our business," said Kevin J. Hobert, Chief Executive Officer, Carestream Health. "We launched many new digital solutions in our medical and dental businesses-as well as in our molecular imaging systems and non-destructive testing groups-and we are focused on exceeding the expectations of customers in the markets we serve."

Carestream Health had a continuous stream of new products in its R&D pipeline when it separated from Eastman Kodak Company on May 1, 2007, after a long and successful history. As a result, Carestream Health is rapidly growing its digital solutions portfolio, enabling customers to realize the benefits of transitioning to an all-digital workflow.
"Our goal is to transform the landscape of healthcare by enabling customers to improve the quality and cost of the care they provide," Hobert said. "When you combine this commitment with our broad global sales and outstanding service capabilities, I am confident we will continue to grow our business and build a successful future."

Customer Satisfaction Continues To Grow
Carestream Health has earned the trust of thousands of organizations around the world. That confidence is evident in many successful initiatives and accomplishments in recent months, including:

Implementing a massive contract with National Services Scotland, highlighted by a centralized medical information management solution and RIS-PACS capabilities at 39 hospitals, with additional linkage to 67 satellite x-ray centers.

Establishing 20 "Center of Excellence" sites featuring leading hospitals around the world that are collaborating with the company to develop the next generation of digital imaging and healthcare IT solutions.

Providing computed radiography systems, laser printers and professional services for a project between Italy and Albania for the development of breast and uterus cancer screening programs for women.

Working with China's Ministry of Health to establish a digital network for sharing medical images and information from rural clinics with specialists in urban centers. Carestream Health's IT systems and services will help improve the speed, quality and cost of rural healthcare in China-and will serve as a working model for other countries to adopt.
