Philips Medical Systems North America of Shelton, CT, plans to restructure its field sales organization, the company announced last month. 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.
