    Public policy decisions can directly influence how health innovations are funded, regulated, reimbursed, adopted, and accessed by patients. This AZBioPEERS webinar will feature a discussion hosted by Joan Koerber-Walker, AZBio CEO, with Steve Potts, CEO of Breakthru Medicine, and Tom Eisiminger, President and CEO of Regenesis Medical, on why policy engagement matters for health innovation entrepreneurs. Panelists will share perspectives on how founders and CEOs can stay informed, build relationships, and make their voices heard on issues that affect company growth, patient access, and Arizona’s broader life science ecosystem.
