Bonus:
What is Precision Medicine Alliance?  Well, there's an entity with that named based in Berlin, here (located just north of Mitte between Rosenthalerplatz and Bernauerstrasse). 

Umm, but in THIS context, with Damon Hostin speaking, Precision Medicine Alliance represents an alliance between the 150 hospitals of two health systems, being SF-based Dignity Health and Colorado-based Catholic Health, see here.
