Medvantx pharmacy

Medvantx announced the opening of its new state-of-the-art pharmacy in Louisville, developed in collaboration with UPS Healthcare and iA. That is cool.

It’s the marriage of Pharmacy: A 'Hidden' Niche in Louisville? and Biologistics in Louisville for the win.

High-cost claimants

The information in Anthem’s 2026 The high-cost claim and claimant whitepaper is interesting. Here are two charts.

Nursing home residents in clinical trials

Revisiting this 2024 news; “A team led by research scientists from the Indiana University School of Medicine and Regenstrief Institute has received funding expected to total $15.5 million from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging to establish a national network structure to include more nursing home residents in clinical trials.” NEXT STEPs (Nursing Home EXplanatory Clinical Trials: Supporting Transformation by Enhancing Partnerships).

This is from a 2024 publication:

I believe NEXT STEPs collaborates with the Long-Term Care (LTC) Data Cooperative, as well.

The only direct connection to these efforts and the Louisville-area I see is Arif Nazir, who, by the way, is one of the owners of Paris Baguette in town.

GeroSCORE

“The USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology has received $7.5 million to establish GeroSCORE, which will advance research on sex differences in aging while serving as a national hub for discovery, collaboration and training.”

Where AI startups can still win against Epic

The Epic Effect, a primary research report from Redesign Health.

“For those launching new businesses, the survey asked respondents to identify which four functional areas they believe a new startup (not an established vendor) has the best opportunity to compete in.”

So, build there.
