On December 2, 1982, the medical team from the University of Utah successfully implanted the first permanent artificial heart in the world. Forty years later, Utah remains a trailblazer in healthcare innovation. Over the past 2 years, I had the pleasure of visiting many Utah businesses at the forefront of the healthcare industry. Ortho Development Corporation, Xenter, Canyon Labs, and Ultradent are among the leading biotech firms that call Utah home. BioHive, a collaboration of 1,100 companies representing Utah's life science and healthcare innovative ecosystem is the driving force behind the Beehive State's success. Additionally, the bioscience industry in Utah supports 130,000 local jobs, accounts for 8 percent of GDP, and produces hundreds of patents for lifesaving medical devices.

I am proud to represent my State and know that we will continue to lead the Nation. ____________________
