Welch Allyn, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of frontline
medical products and solutions, today announced it has realigned the
company around global customer segments as part of a new strategic
plan that focuses on addressing the changing needs of physicians,
nurses, allied professionals and their patients.

In making the announcement, the company also said it will increase
its global reach by developing customer-focused solutions for growing
and emerging markets outside the United States and leveraging
technology with the talent and experience of its workforce to pursue
leadership in innovation.

"Welch Allyn's opportunity to achieve growth is greater than it
has ever been," explained Welch Allyn president and CEO Julie Shimer.
"The new strategic plan is our roadmap for the future. It capitalizes
on our rich history of innovation and positions us to deliver the
kinds of leading-edge solutions our customers are demanding."

In addition, she said the company will be organized around two
geographies--led by executive vice president and president, US and
Canada, Steve Meyer, and executive vice president and president,
International, Louise McDonald. Al DiRienzo was named senior vice
president and chief science and technology officer, Scott Gucciardi
was appointed senior vice president, Global Category Management and
R&D, and Doug Linquest was named executive vice president, Strategy
and Business Development.

Shimer explained that the structure of the new organization will
assure focus, efficiency and effectiveness in executing against the
new strategy. She said business remains strong, and the company is in
a good position to make these investments now in order to ensure its
health and competitiveness in the years ahead. Shimer explained that
Welch Allyn products are designed with ease of use, safety and
efficiency in mind, and that they will make a lasting, positive
improvement on the way caregivers interact with their patients.

"Like any successful business we need to set long-term goals and
objectives and execute against them in order to remain competitive,"
Shimer said. "Our new, customer-focused strategic plan is intended to
guide the Company in how it will serve its customers well and to
achieve stronger growth, improve focus and execution, and increase
operational efficiency now and into the future."
