Arizona Tech Council debuts medical expo with Johnny Bench

Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Bench will keynote the Arizona Technology Council’s first annual Health & Medical Expo March 25 — an effort by the group to broaden its focus.
“By launching our first annual Health & Medical Technology Expo, we are broadening our focus on health care and life sciences because ultimately, technology can help manage cost and efficiency and improve patient care,” said Steven G. Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council, in a statement Thursday.
The 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. program at the Renaissance Hotel & Spa in Glendale will include breakout sessions, free health screenings, networking and exhibits.
“As a former professional athlete that has undergone joint replacement, I can testify to the importance of doing your homework and staying on top of the trends in health care,” said Bench, who will speak at the luncheon. “This unique expo is a prime opportunity to hear firsthand how technology is changing the way we take care of our bodies inside and out.”
Stryker Orthopaedics is presenting the event along with sponsors, CORE (Center for Orthopedic Research and Education) and Grandview Terrace lifecare community.
“The work of our member companies encompasses a wide range of products and services, and we felt it was important to share the latest health care innovations with the Arizona community at large,” said Zylstra.
Admission to the expo is $10, cost for the luncheon and expo is $40 for council members, $50 for nonmembers. For more: http://bit.ly/b1HqkX.
