"Recognizing and honoring extraordinary healthcare innovation and rising healthcare stars throughout the New York metropolitan area for a fourth year promises opportunities for us at HPN and Crain's New York Business to once again share significant insights and groundbreaking healthcare advances with all New Yorkers," said Dr. Richard Merkin, Founder and CEO of HPN.

This is what you see from New York nominees and winners, large and small, in the Heritage Healthcare Innovation Awards. People and organizations that refuse to be satisfied with the status quo.
