StatRad, a leading provider of cloud-based medical image exchange technology and teleradiology services, has added Chris Hafey and Claude Hooton to its board of directors. The announcement comes as the company prepares to exhibit at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2015 Annual Meeting and continues to strategically transform its focus from being a teleradiology company to a health care technology organization focused on improving patient care.

Hooton also served as executive vice president and board member of the medical technology provider Baxa Corporation (later acquired by Baxter International), where he grew revenues from $39 million to $100 million over a four-year period.

"Chris and Claude bring strategic, operational and technical experience to StatRad, with proven track records of growth – all qualities that were critical in our selection process. This is a transformative time for StatRad as our team continues to expand world-class teleradiology services while supporting the explosive growth of our innovative cloud-based healthcare technologies," said Chief Executive Officer Vishal Verma, M.D. "We're now in the full commercialization of a technology and services platform that will provide breakthrough speed and scalability to help revolutionize radiology and advance patient care."
