Healthways, Inc. (NASDAQ: HWAY) was recently honored by the CABLE organization, Tennessee’s largest and most established network of professionals, for being one of the few Tennessee public companies to include more than two women in the makeup of its Board of Directors.

Two women are currently serving on the Healthways Board. Mary Jane England, M.D., a Director since 2004, is President of Regis College in Weston, Mass., and the former President of the Washington Business Group on Health. Dr. England is also a former Vice President of Prudential Insurance Co., a former Associate Dean of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and a former Commissioner of Social Services and Associate Commissioner of Mental Health in Massachusetts. She also serves as a Board Member of NSF International.

Alison Taunton-Rigby, Ph.D., has served on the Healthways Board since 2005. Dr. Taunton-Rigby is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of RiboNovix, Inc., and has previously served as CEO of two companies; CMT, Inc. and Aquila Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., (Cambridge Biotech Corporation). She is also a Director of The RiverSource Funds, Abt Associates (Audit Committee Chair), Idera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Audit and Compensation Committees) and The Children's Hospital, Boston.

"Healthways is honored to be named to the CABLE Board Walk of Fame,” said Thomas G. Cigarran, Healthways Board Chairman. "CABLE’s mission to connect women with opportunity aligns closely with Healthways’ commitment to leadership and diversity.”
