Happy Pioneer Day from BioUtah! As we celebrate our state's heritage and progress this Pioneer Day, let's applaud the pioneers in life sciences who have shaped Utah into a hub of innovation and excellence. From the establishment of the first hospital in the Intermountain West in 1872, to landmark achievements like the first artificial heart transplant in a human in 1982, and to groundbreaking research institutions and visionary leaders in health care technologies, the Beehive State continues to lead the way. 🎆 #UtahPioneerDay #UtahLifeSciences #BioUtah Photos: 1.
