ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WellTek Incorporated (OTC Bulletin Board: WTKN), a global health, fitness and wellness company, today announced new appointments to the executive management team of its subsidiary company, MedX Limited.  Lawrence Evans, who served as President, CEO and Chairman of MedX from 1994 through 1998, returns to the Company as its President.  Also returning to the leadership team as VP of Product Development is Clay Steffee, who previously led equipment design and development at MedX from 1995 through 1998.
