The Hunt Center for Entrepreneurship, located at New Mexico State University's Arrowhead Center, is teaming up with SunCruces Angels and the Southwest Healthcare Executives Association (SHEA) to host an event focused on "Meeting the Needs of Today's Healthcare Consumer."

"This partnership not only highlights the vibrant potential of the Borderplex region, but also sets the stage for a dynamic fusion of healthcare, innovation, and investment," expressed Carlos Murguia, director of the Hunt Center for Entrepreneurship.

A panel of distinguished healthcare experts, including Daniel Jones, Stephen Marrer, and Mary Armijo, will lead discussions on the evolving demands of today's healthcare consumers.

Murguia emphasized the importance of bridging the gap between emerging businesses and financial resources: "This focus on capital access is crucial for fostering a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem in which innovation can flourish."

Ginger Raya, chair of the El Paso Chamber Healthcare Coalition, also highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating, "Together, we are set to harness the unique strengths of our community, fostering innovation and growth in healthcare and beyond."

The event, scheduled for April 25 at Arrowhead Center’s Genesis Center-C, will showcase presentations on entrepreneurship efforts in the region and the angel investing landscape in the Borderplex region. The evening will culminate with a pitch by Stephen Marrer showcasing innovative ophthalmic technology at Scintellite.

Attendees can expect valuable insights on how healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors can collaborate to create an innovative and consumer-responsive healthcare environment.
