Congressional Medical Technology Caucus forms to promote medtech, health IT growth

Two members of the House of Representatives formed the Congressional Medical Technology Caucus to educate Congress on medical technology and policies.

Reps. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash, and Fred Upton, R-Mich., formed the bipartisan caucus to highlight medical device and technology breakthroughs that can improve healthcare delivery, according to a July 16 press release. Ms. DelBene said Washington has more than 600 medical technology start-ups and businesses, and hopes the caucus will educate her colleagues on how to ensure those companies can continue to innovate in the future.

Michigan also is a hot bed for medtech and medical device manufacturing. "In southwest Michigan, employers like Stryker, which lead the medical device industry in ground-breaking research and innovation, power our economy and create hundreds of good-paying jobs," he said.
