Sacramento Hoping To Be Center for Medical Innovation

California is at the center of the medical device industry, and the Sacramento area is angling to become a major player with 54 such companies headquartered around the capital. MedStart, an effort by the Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance to make Sacramento a center for medical technology, is aiming to have 10 more companies come to the area by the end of 2011.
