Cambia announced last week plans to launch the Cambia Grove, a center for health care innovation based in Seattle. This is exciting news for the health care community in the Pacific Northwest and across the country.
Newly appointed executive director of the Cambia Grove, Nicole Bell, and Rob Coppedge, senior vice president of strategic investments for Cambia Health Solutions, made the announcement during the Washington Biotech & Biomedical Association’s (WBBA) annual meeting. UW Medicine, Regence BlueShield and Qliance were named initial anchor partners in this endeavor with more to follow when the facility opens during the first quarter of 2015.
The vision and mission of the Cambia Grove were well-received by the more than 700 event attendees, Governor Jay Inslee of Washington state, the business and health care communities and the media. The news about Cambia Grove generated media coverage across health and tech industry outlets as well as local and national business press including:
