VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MedBright AI Investments Inc. (the “Company” or “MedBright”) (CSE:MBAI, OTCQB:MBAIF, FSE:1V7) is pleased to announce the election of two new board members to the Board of Directors, Dr. Jaime Gerber and Dr. Konita Wilks, at the Company’s annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on December 1, 2023. Dr. Gerber will serve as Chairman of the Board.

Dr. Jaime Gerber, MD, FACC, RPVI, is a cardiologist specializing in preventive cardiology, as well as complex cardiology cases that involve coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and risk factor modification. Additionally, Dr. Gerber is a Professor of Medicine at Yale Medical School, is the co-director of the Yale Executive Health program, and directs the Yale New Haven Heart & Vascular Center laboratory for vascular ultrasound testing for peripheral arterial disease. He has broad experience in medical systems management and healthcare start-ups.

Dr. Konita Wilks, DDS, applies mission-driven, strategic thinking to improve hospital operations and patient outcomes as the CEO of Olive View-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA, a 355-bed general acute care hospital that employs nearly 5500 persons and has a $900-million dollar annual operating budget. She has over 25 years of experience as a dynamic, visionary leader in healthcare and the military. Prior to her role as CEO, she served as the Medical Director of Quality and Patient Safety Officer and Chief of Dental Services for Los Angeles County Health Services. Dr. Wilks is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, naval officer, and combat veteran who fought in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom in the Persian Gulf. She received her doctorate from the UCLA School of Dentistry.

Michael Dalsin, Chairman of the Investment Committee says, “Both Dr. Gerber and Dr. Wilks have a proven track record as leaders in healthcare services. As a large shareholder, I was pleased to see their appointment to the Board of Directors. Both will be tremendous assets to this organization. I have sought each of their expertise for over 15 years in past endeavors, including my time as Chairman of Patient Home Monitoring (PHM.V) which was listed on the TSXV before spinning out into two companies, VieMed Healthcare (VMD) and Quipt Home Medical (QIPT), which currently trade on the Nasdaq.”

Approval of Class “A” Non-Voting Common Shares

The Company also announces that the Company’s shareholders have approved the creation of a new class of Class “A” non-voting common shares (the “Non-Voting Shares”) in connection with the Company’s previously announced transaction with an FDA & HIPPA compliant Artificial Intelligence Platform “AIP” doing business as Limmi, a Delaware corporation named Mentorhead Incorporated (“Limmi”).
