KANSAS CITY, Mo. — April 22, 2011 — Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN) today announced that Mike Valentine, Cerner’s chief operating officer, will leave the company effective May 13, 2011.

Valentine joined Cerner in 1998 and became Cerner’s chief operating officer in 2008. In that role, he was primarily responsible for Cerner’s client organization.

Cerner also announced the promotion of two of its senior executives.

	•		Mike Nill, Cerner’s executive vice president and chief engineering officer, has been promoted to chief operating officer. In that role he will have responsibility for Cerner’s intellectual property development and the delivery and support of Cerner’s solutions to our clients through consulting services and the CernerWorks? and Cerner ITWorks? services offerings. Nill joined Cerner in 1996.
	•		Zane Burke, senior vice president, has been promoted to executive vice president and will assume responsibility for the Client organization in the Americas and Pacific Rim. Burke joined Cerner in 1996 and has held a variety of financial and client-facing leadership roles since that time.

“Mike Valentine has had an exciting career, excelling in every role he has held in the company, most recently as leader of our worldwide Client organization,” said Neal Patterson, Cerner’s chairman, CEO and co-founder. “I am confident I speak for all associates when I say we wish him continued success.”

“I am also very pleased to announce the expanded responsibilities of Mike Nill and Zane Burke. These two executives have had a significant impact on Cerner’s operations and results, and both reflect our culture of building leaders from within. Mike Nill grew our CernerWorks hosting offering from its infancy into a world class suite of managed services that now generate $300 million of annual revenue, and he created our Cerner ITWorks offering that further extends the value we can bring to our clients. In addition, Nill’s leadership of our intellectual property development team and primary management of our $280 million annual R&D investment has resulted in our current solutions having the highest code quality in our history. He is a rare leader who brings a replicable model of excellence to all that he touches.”

“Zane Burke has led a broad range of client-facing sales, implementation and support initiatives during his career, most recently being responsible for Cerner’s client development organization and leading Cerner’s relationships with investor-owned hospitals. He has also been responsible for advancing our employer and network services offerings,” Patterson continued.

“I am proud to recognize their accomplishments and look forward to their continued contributions.”

Cerner will report results for the first quarter of 2011 on April 28. The Company expects these results to be at or above guidance levels provided in the February 8 earnings release.
