StartUp Health and the Healthcare Transformers Go to Washington DC!
The StartUp Health Academy, now almost 40 companies strong, convened in Washington, DC, on June 3-5, 2013, for our sixth Quarterly Healthcare Transformer Summit. Held in association with Health Datapalooza IV, which was co-chaired by StartUp Health’s CEO Steven Krein, our Healthcare Transformers spent three energizing and inspiring days in the nation’s capital focused on partner access and learning sessions, collaboration and strategy, and social connections. See pictures and read all about it here.
During the Healthcare Transformer Summit, the StartUp Health family was joined by several new members. Please join us in welcoming the newest Healthcare Transformers:
