PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwire - November 7, 2007) - CommonHealth today announced Meaghan Nelson

research-based consultancy specializing in the physician-patient dialogue.

"Meaghan has been with the CommonHealth network for more than four years.
She has proven over the course of that time to have not only the talent and
vision to lead MBS/Vox, but the innate ability to grasp the complexities of
the group's charge -- to provide real, actionable insight into the
physician-patient dynamic for our clients," said Joe Gattuso, chief
strategist for CommonHealth and former president of MBS/Vox. "Handing the
reins over to Meaghan was a very easy decision. She helped grow this
business from its inception and will continue to help keep MBS/Vox in the
forefront of the dialogue discussion," he added.
MBS/Vox was founded in 2000 as a collaboration between social scientists
from leading-edge academic centers and strategic marketers experienced in
creating and managing healthcare brands. The group houses the largest-known
library of recorded physician-patient office visits.
