- The city currently ranks as the third fastest-growing, early-stage tech ecosystem in the country.

- It’s expected to open later this year.
What they’re saying: “We’ve been working very, very closely with health care innovation companies to really transform our business,” Stansbury said. “But we’ve also learned that you can learn a lot from other industries on ways that we can improve overall our process, engage our customers, be very customer-centric.”
