The Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center (MEDVAMC) is proud to announce that Christie Pascue, biomedical engineer, has been named to the 2026 TechNation 40 Under 40 Class—a prestigious national honor recognizing 40 outstanding professionals across the country for their leadership, innovation and dedication to advancing the healthcare technology management industry.

Criteria for selection

Honorees are selected based on their professional achievements, contributions to the healthcare technology management community and the positive influence they have on their organizations, colleagues and the future of the profession. Pascue’s selection derives from the exceptional expertise and commitment she brings to her work supporting Veteran care at MEDVAMC.

“This national recognition is a true reflection of Christie’s talent and the outstanding contributions she makes to our team every day,” said Morolake Omoruyi, chief of facilities management at   MEDVAMC and an engineer herself. “We are incredibly proud to see her achievements recognized on such a prestigious platform.”

Dedication to Veterans

Pascue, who marks five years of service with VA this year, said she is passionate about her job and loves the challenges it often presents.

“What I enjoy most about my job is that every day brings something new, and it keeps me on my toes,” she said. “MEDVAMC is such a large facility with complex systems and technology that keep things interesting and engaging. Although much of our work happens behind the scenes, we get to see the positive impact it has on the care Veterans receive. Knowing that our efforts contribute to better outcomes for those who have served makes all the hard work truly rewarding.”

Looking ahead

MEDVAMC congratulates Christie Pascue on this well-deserved national honor and looks forward to her continued impact on the medical center and the Veterans it serve.
