Forbes Named 'Champion of Healthcare Innovation' by National Healthcare Leaders

Contact: 202-225-6365

WASHINGTON, May 18, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) was honored as a "Champion of Healthcare Innovation" by The Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC), a coalition of the nation's premier healthcare companies and organizations, at an award ceremony in Washington, D.C.

"We're on the verge of a remarkable era in American healthcare. Genomic and biologic research, improved data analytics, and advanced mobile technologies are enabling people to live longer, healthier lives," said HLC President Mary R. Grealy. "To continue this exciting transformation, we need visionary leadership and sound policymaking. We honored Representative Forbes for providing important advocacy and leadership for patients and consumers."

"America's healthcare system should be defined by discovery, not bureaucracy," said Congressman Forbes. "That's why my priorities will continue to be growing and advancing medical research with proven success, promoting common sense ways to use existing drugs for new treatments, and working towards a patient-centric system. People should always come before politics, and innovation should drive America's healthcare policies in Congress and in our communities."
 
The award presentation took place at the Council's annual Healthcare Innovations Expo on Capitol Hill. The day-long event is dedicated to providing an opportunity for some of our nation's leading healthcare companies and institutions to display the newest developments in healthcare technologies, treatments, and practices.
