Houston's health care and life sciences sectors are among the region's most dominant industries, driven by world-class institutions, top professional talent and cutting edge technologies. Home to more than 1,760 life sciences companies, innovative hospitals, health facilities and research institutions and a workforce of more than 320,000 people in health care, biotech and related fields -- few places in the world rival Houston's thought leadership in the health care and medical arenas.
 
The Partnership works to advance a great quality of life for all Houstonians, and one of the most important elements of this is the health of our community. As we head into a new year, it's important that the Partnership offers our members and business audience at large an opportunity to hear from our medical community on the state of Houston's health care system.
