This year’s Award for Innovation in Healthcare and Bioscience was more than a celebration of individual achievement—it was a powerful reflection of the strength, collaboration, and vision of an entire ecosystem. As we honored Dr. Larry Schlesinger and George Hernández, we also recognized the collective momentum that continues to drive our region forward.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the sponsors and partners who made this celebration possible. From healthcare institutions and biomedical pioneers to community organizations and city leadership, this diverse group represents the full spectrum of innovation in our region. Your support not only made this event a success—it reaffirmed the shared commitment to advancing health, science, and opportunity for all.
This year also marked a major milestone: BioMedSA’s 20th anniversary. For two decades, BioMedSA has been a catalyst for growth, a champion of collaboration, and a tireless promoter of our region’s potential. Through strategic action and unwavering dedication, BioMedSA has helped shape a thriving bioscience landscape that continues to attract talent, investment, and groundbreaking ideas.
As we looked back on the achievements of the past, we also looked ahead—with excitement and unity—toward the future. The journey is far from over.
In fact, it’s just beginning. Together, we will continue to build on the foundation laid by BioMedSA and all those who have contributed to this vibrant ecosystem.
We invite everyone—innovators, caregivers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders—to join us in this journey. The future of healthcare and bioscience is being written right here, and it’s a story we’re proud to tell together.
Thank you for being part of this movement. Let’s keep innovating—together.
