Health Discovery Corporation’s President, Thomas Gallagher, Steps Down

Thomas Gallagher, President, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel of Health Discovery Corporation (OTCBB: HDVY) (HDC), informed the Board of Directors of his intention to pursue a new opportunity. The Board of Directors accepted Mr. Gallagher’s resignation effective February 22, 2011.

In addition, HDC’s Board of Directors and Mr. Gallagher have begun discussions about a possible joint venture in order to pursue business opportunities with an emphasis on non-medical data-mining and business analytics using HDC’s technology.

As currently contemplated, the proposed joint venture would grant Mr. Gallagher’s new company a non-exclusive license to Health Discovery Corporation’s substantial patent portfolio and know-how in exchange for a minority ownership interest in the new company. The parties will begin serious discussions about this possibility in the coming weeks.

"Since his arrival in November 2009, Tom Gallagher has made a significant and positive impact on our organization and we appreciate his efforts,” said Dr. Joseph McKenzie, Lead Director of Health Discovery Corporation. "It is our hope to be able to continue to collaborate with Tom in the near future,” said Dr. McKenzie.
