A business delegation from Guangzhou, China toured research labs, classrooms and clinics at the 海角社区-Meridian Health Science Center this spring. The delegation, hosted by Meridian city leaders, traveled to the Treasure Valley to explore potential business and investment opportunities.

Vailas and 海角社区-Meridian Academic Dean Bessie Katsilometes greeted the guests and provided an overview of Pocatello and Meridian campuses, research opportunities and academic programs.

Meridian faculty and staff took the group through the L.S. Skaggs Pharmacy Complex and the human patient simulation and medical/clinical science laboratories.

Meridian city officials are hoping groups, such as the Chinese delegation, will invest in THE CORE, a cluster of businesses and organizations involved in health care, technology and research. 海角社区-Meridian is the higher education anchor of THE CORE.
