At our last meeting we received an update on Medtronic from Chandra Submaranian.  Medtronic Microelectronics Center is now known as Medtronic-Tempe Campus...so MTC instead of MMC.  The old waferfab area is now the Advanced Packaging Facility.  Lots of engineering work has been done and they are close to being production ready.  MTC is working on providing diabetes therapies and low cost pacemakers for emerging markets as well as providing electronics for spinal devices.
 
On the Medtronic corporate front, Medtronic's new CEO Omar Ishrak (formerly of GE Healthcare) has a new global focus, particularly in China and India.  He recently gave the heads of Medtronic's respective business units global responsibilities, instead of having separate domestic and international divisions.

We also had a presentation Alec Marek, Cean Rogers and Rydan Case from Ironwood Wealth Management.  If you have any questions about
