SARTA's MedStart Initiative: Making healthcare safer, more effective, and less costly, through technology.
SARTA’s MedStart initiative, a rapidly growing regional economic development collaborative, envisions a thriving medical device and medical technology industry in the Sacramento region and is a catalyst in making that happen.
