Weather, terrain, accents and cuisine clearly differ from the west coast across to the east coast — but so does healthcare investing and innovation. In what ways does the large gap in between the coasts stand out on its own? What pluses and minuses are present for those working in healthcare markets like Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Louisville, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh?

This week on MedHeads we will be taking a look at healthcare investing from a Midwest point of view and observing how particular geography can play a role in collaborations, investment opportunities and deal flow.

Chris Seper will moderate a discussion with special guests Shaye Mandle, President & CEO of Minnesota’s Medical Alley Association, Kathy Tune from health care venture firm Thomas, McNerney & Partners’ Minnesota office and Ray Leach, founding CEO of JumpStart Inc., a non-profit venture development organization in Cleveland.
