Eli Lilly & Co. President and CEO John Lechleiter was the sole representative of the biopharmaceutical industry at President Obama's Wednesday meeting with business leaders on how to encourage U.S. job growth and economic recovery.
During the meeting, Lechleiter discussed the "life sciences innovation hub" that has grown up in Lilly's home state of Indiana as a potential model for promoting innovation across the country, according to a company statement.
Let’s pick up on that theme and strive to make the 2011 health care discussion all about innovation – because that’s what it really is all about.
