Medical Innovation: Burden or Solution?

At 9:30AM on May 14 at the National Press Club, the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest will launch the Odyssey Project -- conceived out of a concern that even as technology-sustained growth is offered as the hope for solving environmental problems, there are broad political and cultural forces that could undermine the development of biomedical technologies that offer the same promise for health care problems of a growing and aging population.

Please join the Honorable Anna Eshoo, (D-CA.) Vice Chair, 21st Century Health Care Caucus former Congressman Mike Ferguson (current Senior Fellow, CMPI), former NFL linebacker Elijah Alexander, President, Tackle Myeloma Foundation, and other special guests at the inauguration of this timely and important project

CMPI created the Odyssey Project because we believe that medical technology is a not a costly burden to be contained, but the solution to humanity’s greater challenges. The Odyssey Project will provide a forum to discuss how medical progress has added to the health and wealth of families over the past half century, create a roadmap to insure it generates tremendous near and long-term prosperity and offers patient-centered prescriptions for America’s health care crisis.

Please RSVP to Meryl Reichbach:  mreichbach@cmpi.org or 212.417.9169
