Living in the Boston 'burbs, I am surrounded by companies and folks in the medical field, many in pharmaceuticals. My town is a hotbed of health tech, of all types (research, devices, pharmaceuticals). Never mind the top notch academic medical institutions in the area to take care of our own personal healthcare needs (and use the new innovations). With clinical expertise and high tech all in the same beltway, it's a no-brainer that the two converged to make us top-notch in healthcare tech.

Chicago has MedLine and HCSC (BlueCross), cant top leading manufacturer and payer brands.
Houston has the biggest provider district according to the sales people.

I would like to see clarification or a follow-up to this survey. From the comments it appears that they are focused on the location of companies that provide healthcare technology products and services. How about which cities or regions have the strongest claim to the USAGE of healthcare technology products and services in their hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare service providers?

I’m surprised by Nashville and Atlanta. Change is the only healthcare technology company I can think of in Nashville. Atlanta I can’t think of any. I guess my knowledge of computer is biased towards traditional software vendors/SAAS as opposed to service providers, corporate headquarters, pharma, biotech or medical devices.

Also, Takeda Pharmaceuticals USA is moving from Chicagoland to the Boston area, strengthening Boston's position in pharmaceuticals.

Abb-Vie is still in the Chicago suburbs. It was originally the combination of the Abbott Pharmaceutical Products Division (PPD) within the USA when I worked there and the pharmaceutical sales part of Abbott International.

What about New Jersey? All big pharma companies are in NJ.
