Health Wildcatters Supports Texas Consortium For ARPA-H Customer Experience Hub
Health Wildcatters Supports Texas Consortium For ARPA-H Customer Experience Hub
[Dallas, TX] - May 08, 2023 – Health Wildcatters is pleased to join Austin, North Texas and San Antonio in their efforts to procure an ARPA-H (Advanced Research Project Agency for Health) “customer experience” hub, known as the CXARPA-H Hub. If selected, the CXARPA-H Hub will be one of three new national hubs that will collectively support ARPA-H’s mission to accelerate better health outcomes for all people. The CXARPA-H Hub has a network of over 1,000 consortium members, consisting of the consortium management firm, its member organizations, local consortium members, and spokes across Texas and in all 50 states. Health Wildcatters enthusiastically supports this effort and is looking forward to participating in the hub consortium to improve healthcare.
The CXARPA-H Hub is aligned with the mission and goals of Health Wildcatters, a premier world-wide health startup accelerator founded in Dallas in 2013. Health Wildcatters' track record of helping and accelerating hundreds of healthcare startups since inception, positions it well to assist in this great effort. The deep network of mentors, investors, industry professionals and institutions, will allow to assist a running start for CXARPA-H.
The proposed physical site for the CXARPA-H Hub is Pegasus Park, a 26-acre, biotech, life sciences and social impact office campus development in Dallas. Pegasus Park was selected due to its rich infrastructure offering state-of-the-art facilities and amenities and enabling the daily convergence of life science entrepreneurs, strategic business partners, social impact organizations, universities, investors/accelerators, and established life science companies. The campus’ easy access to two major airports enables the proposed CXARPA-H Hub to extend its reach broadly across the nation and to serve as the ideal site for ARPA-H’s program managers.
Conveniently located in the center of the country, Texas is a welcoming place for ARPA-H program managers to live and conduct business. The state is home to a history of successful translation of scientific research to clinical treatments with unmatched expertise and resources to support ARPA-H’s nationwide projects, with a track-record of national collaborations and partnerships. Combined with its robust statewide and national network of consortium members aligned with ARPA-H’s stated goals, the CXARPA-H Hub is ready to make ARPA-H all that it can be.
The decision is projected to be made by early fall 2023.
