Novation announces appointment of Jody Hatcher as interim president from HPN Daily Update, October 20, 2008 Novation announced late Friday that Joellyn Willis, who was serving as president, has left the company to pursue other interests and Jody Hatcher is assuming the role of interim president, effective immediately. Hatcher is a long-time leader at Novation, with nearly 20 years of experience working on behalf of VHA and UHC members. Hatcher has served as senior vice president leading key business areas, including: strategic sourcing, research, strategic planning, comparative analysis, custom services, regional contracting services, business development, alliance linkages, information technology, operational improvement and marketing. Hatcher also is a highly- visible figure within the larger healthcare group purchasing sector, working to raise awareness about the important value GPOs provide hospitals.
