Moving Forward During a Pandemic
COVID-19 is affecting our community in unprecedented ways. Currently, we are inspired by stories of Innovation District responses to the global pandemic we are all facing. We are meeting virtually with collaborators and considering how we might rethink our role in the community now and in the future.
Stay tuned as we work to support the Central Texas Health Innovation ecosystem and check out some recent news from around the District and across the Network amidst Austin’s latest shelter-in-place order.
Around The District
Dell Med Launches COVID-19 ATX Exchange
Recently, Dell Medical School launched the COVID-19 ATX Exchange. This new initiative from Dell Med highlights vetted and prioritized needs from local organizations. Now they need creative ideas from the community to help meet the local health needs. The exchange brings together experts, innovators and leaders from across our community to help vet, triage & coordinate needs. Visit the Exchange.
