The Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC), a coalition of
leaders of the nation’s premier health care companies and organizations, today honored
Congressman Stearns as a “Champion of Healthcare Innovation” at an award ceremony
in Washington, DC.
Congressman Stearns was honored at the Council’s annual
Healthcare Innovations Expo on Capitol Hill. The day-long event is dedicated to
showcasing new developments in health care technologies, treatments and
practices. This year’s event
featured, among other displays, new technologies in treating diabetes and
kidney disease as well as digital health coaching programs to help people
improve their own well-being.
“Our nation’s healthcare innovators are constantly
developing new techniques and technologies to extend and enhance our lives, but
we know there’s a great deal of work to be done to achieve the optimal
healthcare system Americans need and deserve,” said HLC president Mary R.
Grealy. “We’re grateful for
Congressman Stearns’s leadership, dedication and hard work in advancing the
quality, accessibility and cost-effectiveness of American healthcare.”
