The firm will create four operating units that will be located in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta.

Each regional operating unit will function under a regional vice president, and the regional bases' activities will be coordinated with headquarters vice presidents, according to the company.

Philips hopes the new structure will allow it to respond more quickly and with more flexibility to its customers, which include independent hospitals, national and regional affiliations, HMOs, buying groups, and freestanding imaging centers.
