KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN ) announced today that former Sen. John C. “Jack” Danforth notified the Board of Directors he does not intend to stand for re-election to the Board at Cerner’s 2017 annual shareholder meeting to be held in May 2017, as he plans to retire effective immediately prior to the meeting. Cerner further announced that Dr. Julie Gerberding has been appointed to the company’s Board of Directors, effective March 3.

With this appointment, Cerner’s board now has 10 members, with eight of them, including Dr. Gerberding, being external and independent. Dr. Gerberding will stand for re-election at Cerner’s 2017 annual shareholder meeting.

“I want to thank Jack Danforth for his extraordinary service dating back to 1996,” said Neal Patterson, Cerner’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder. “It’s an honor to welcome Dr. Gerberding to our outstanding Board as our industry moves to a new era focused on using data-driven insights to improve health outcomes across populations. Her extensive experience as a clinician and business leader who has navigated complex policy and regulatory environments will be a great asset to Cerner.”
