Boise Entrepreneur Week (BEW) was a resounding success this past week and included a MedTech track for the first time in its history. It featured several talks and panels from various pioneering healthcare and technology topics. Saltzer Health and SelectHealth were well-represented, with a keynote speaker and two panelists. The innovative approaches at Saltzer Health were featured and well-received.

Dr. Rourke Yeakley speaking about Acute Care: Current Disruption-Future at Boise Entrepreneur Week at JUMP in downtown Boise. Dr. Yeakley was the co-chair of the first-ever MedTech track.

Our new critical care ambulance was on display at the culminating event of the week, the BEW Block Party. Attendees had the opportunity to see the ambulance, how it’s different from a typical ambulance, and how it fits into the Saltzer Health goal of high-quality, comprehensive healthcare at a lower cost. Many were interested in Saltzer’s innovations in healthcare and how transport works into it for Saltzer proper and the local community.
