Washington, D.C. – Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Vice Chairman of the House Rules Committee and Chairman of the House Budget Committee Health Care Task Force, sent a letter advocating for the establishment of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health's (ARPA-H) addressed to Dr. Renee Wegrzyn, Director of ARPA-H at the Department of Health and Human Services. In the letter, Congressman Burgess expressed support for bringing ARPA-H's hub to North Texas. 

The letter emphasized several key reasons why North Texas, and specifically Pegasus Park in Dallas, is the ideal location for ARPA-H's customer experience hub: 
  
“Texas boasts a strong network of world-renowned health and research institutions that align with ARPA-H's core capability needs, from clinical trials to advanced manufacturing,” said Burgess. “These institutions have a history of translating scientific research into clinical treatments and will be instrumental in ARPA-H's success. Pegasus Park in Dallas offers fully equipped office and convening spaces, fostering collaboration and innovation. It is home to a thriving ecosystem of life science companies, universities, startups, accelerators, and nonprofits dedicated to improving human health.”
