Washington, D.C. – Today, The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announced its selection of Dallas, Texas, as the official site for its Customer Experience hub. The hub will be located at Pegasus Park. This strategic move marks a significant development in ARPA-H's nationwide health innovation network.

“This is a resounding win for both the great state of Texas and ARPA-H. It signifies a significant stride towards innovation, the creation of jobs, and the integration of cutting-edge technology into the healthcare landscape,” said Burgess. “The selection of Dallas as the home for ARPA-H's hub was the result of a highly competitive process, underscoring the city's unparalleled potential as a hub for groundbreaking research and health care innovation. With this eagerly awaited announcement, ARPA-H will transform our North Texas community. It will boost our economy, and lead to better health outcomes for all Americans.” 

Last week, Congressman Burgess sent a letter urging ARPA-H Director Renee Wegrzyn, Ph.D., to consider Dallas, Texas, for an innovation network. Read his most recent letter HERE.
