MedCity launches community for health care startups

MedCity News, which covers the business of health care, has launched a membership-based community called MedCitizens for health care startups to help them be found by venture capitalists, industry partners and hospital executives.

Vice president and editorial director Arundhati Parmar writes, “For nearly a decade now, MedCity News has had a singular focus: to cover innovation in healthcare. That has necessarily meant covering startups and highlighting their journey as they raise capital to fund their new-fangled ideas and move to commercialize them in an industry that needs change, even though it may not always be a willing participant.

“But as invaluable as MedCity has become as a resource to our healthcare audience, there are still scores of startups out there that we don’t know of. Who may be doing wonderful things in healthcare that we haven’t written about. That is about to change.

“Today, we are launching a community of startups and for startups with the primary goal of helping them to be found. Be found by the venture capitalists, the industry partners and the hospital executives looking for innovation.”
