Tom Zumtobel, CEO of Teachers Health Trust (THT), strongly supports BioTech Vegas because of its potential to advance both public health and economic opportunity in Nevada. As the leader of a locally governed, nonprofit, quasi‑governmental health plan created to serve public educators and their families, Tom views THT as a steward of public trust—responsible not only for healthcare delivery, but for long‑term system sustainability and community impact. He believes Nevada’s economic future depends on investing in life sciences and biotechnology that translate innovation into real‑world benefit for large, public‑serving populations. BioTech Vegas plays a vital role in building that ecosystem by connecting research, industry, and care delivery—helping ensure that scientific advancement strengthens Nevada’s economy while improving the health of the people it serves.
