Veterinary Outpatient CRI Draws Animal Health Commercial Leadership to RxActuator

John Corsale and Greg Blair join the Board of Advisors as the company builds the category for stable patients recovering at home on continuous therapy

RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Journey Actuating Technologies, Inc. (dba RxActuator™), the veterinary medical device company pioneering “Hospital-at-Home” continuous-rate infusion (CRI) for companion animals, today announced the appointment of John Corsale, Jr., DVM, MBA and Greg Blair to its Board of Advisors. The two bring more than four decades of combined corporate veterinary operations and animal health commercial leadership to RxActuator™ as the company scales manufacturing, sales, and clinical adoption of the RxActuator Mini-Infuser^®.

“John and Greg have each spent their careers at the center of how veterinary medicine actually gets delivered — inside multi-site hospital systems and inside the animal health companies that supply them,” said Jeff Journey, CEO of Journey Actuating Technologies. “As we move from relaunch into scale, their perspective on corporate group adoption, channel strategy, and partnering is exactly what this board needs.”

“I’m excited to be part of Journey Actuating Technologies, Inc. (dba RxActuator™), because I can see what it means for improving patient outcomes and easing client concerns about leaving a pet overnight in the hospital,” said John Corsale, Jr., DVM, MBA. “It also gives veterinarians greater confidence that the medicine sent home with patients is being delivered to therapeutic effect. And by letting veterinary technicians focus on only the most critical patients who truly need overnight care, it eases the burden on hospital staff and helps address stress and shortages industry-wide. It’s truly exciting.”

“I’m excited to join the RxActuator™ Board of Advisors and help the team expand access to this technology for veterinary clinics and pet owners across the industry,” said Greg Blair. “When I first saw the RxActuator device, it was clear it would allow pets to receive the critical medication they need in the comfort of home. Beyond reducing the cost of care by avoiding hospital stays, it will ultimately increase access to treatment for owners who otherwise couldn’t afford a night of hospitalization.”
