Manning, VUMC chief administration officer and senior associate dean for Operations and Administration; and Gordon R. Bernard, M.D., associate vice-chancellor for research and senior associate dean for clinical sciences, VUMC School of Medicine. Sandra H. Lillie, formerly vice president in sales with TeraMedica Healthcare Technology (HQ:Milwaukee), has joined as VP sales and development. Brian Higdon joined from Affinion Group (Stanford, Conn., direct marketing) and now heads ICA client services. John Tempesco becomes chief marketing officer.
