CORRECTION May 28, 2019, reflecting the plans for the Welch Allyn and Voalte brands.
Hill-Rom (NYSE:HRC) said today that it’s adjusting its brand under a new logo, aiming to emphasize its focus on the digital health space.
The new Hillrom moniker and refreshed logo reflect the company’s “strong and growing capabilities in connected devices, advanced analytics and delivery of actionable insights at the point of care,” according to a press release.
