The Highlight of my Week

The man with the plan: Texas State Senator Kirk Watson, with Erin and I.
…was meeting State Senator Kirk Watson. He swung by our inaugural health2.0 kickoff event last night to show his support for our idea – to build a kickass health IT community in Austin.
Senator Watson has spearheaded the health reform movement here in Austin through taking on a list of initiatives. The movement and organization is called HealthyATX, and the goals include setting up a healthcare incubator in Austin, developing more innovative ways for health care delivery, and bringing a medical school to Austin. He’s already made some progress on the last one.
If I haven’t said it yet, this city is awesome.
