RALEIGH, N.C. — Ateb announced Tuesday that it had appointed Mike Cantrell as VP for pharmacy network development and Mike Roberts as the director of analytics and pharmacy programs. Both will report to President and CEO Frank Sheppard.

As VP, Cantrell will develop quality-focused provider networks that manage healthcare costs and use community pharmacists to deliver care.
