Telecommunications company AT&T is expanding its reach into the healthcare sector by establishing the AT&T Foundry for Connected Health, set to open in Houston next month, according to a Fortune report.

The report also said AT&T will not invest directly in startups but provide its resources to facilitate company's efforts to bring solutions to market faster.
