"Medical Capital Plus Bus" event

Northeast Ohio boasts tremendous strengths in healthcare, biomedical innovation, medical education and research, device manufacturing and more, yet national awareness of our industry is relatively low. In its continuing effort to collaborate with area healthcare communicators to raise this awareness, Cleveland Plus will be hosting its third Healthcare Communicators’ Summit on Friday, November 5, 2010.

This time Cleveland Plus takes the Summit on the road for a “Medical Capital Plus Bus” tour of Northeast Ohio. This interactive tour will bring healthcare communicators together to learn firsthand about Northeast Ohio’s healthcare assets. Attendees will hear directly from many of the individuals who are driving healthcare and medical innovations, which are improving lives everywhere, and will come away from the event with information to help spread the message that Northeast Ohio is, indeed, the Medical Capital.

The all-day event will begin at 8:00 a.m. with a continental breakfast at the Embassy Suites in Independence. During the tour, attendees will hear from a number of speakers who will highlight their organization’s work in the healthcare field. Speakers will include representatives from the Cleveland Medical Mart & Convention Center, BioEnterprise, the Austen BioInnovation Institute and more. Stops will include the Austen BioInnovation Institute, NEOUCOM and a medical device manufacturer. During the event, guests will have the opportunity to network with healthcare communicators from throughout the region.
