ATLANTA — January 8, 2003 — Nucleus Communications announced today it has changed its name to Nucleus Medical Art. "Our new name more accurately reflects our reputation as 'the center' for medical art, animations and interactive visual media for healthcare publishing, marketing and investor relations," said Ronald L. Collins, the company's CEO. An additional benefit is the name Nucleus Medical Art automatically increases the company's search engine relevance for customers querying for the phrase medical art.
