Medical Alley takes what is personal and they try to help think forward about how we can make it better. Whether that’s legislation, whether that’s conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion, whether that’s conversations about talent, Medical Alley is bringing that to the forefront and saying, how can we work together better as providers, as payers, as manufacturers, to support the ecosystem of healthcare. And I am proud to be a part of Medical Alley and what Minnesota can do for the future of healthcare.
