Generalist LO interviewing at healthcare SM?

I have an interview with a healthcare focused SM but only have generalist experience in LO as my background. For pitches, should I be sure to include a healthcare name? My concern is that my healthcare pick will be grilled super hard and they likely already have a view on the name, but on the other hand, if I pitch a non-healthcare stock I am worried that I won't be seen as strong of a candidate vs. some SS ER candidate, or someone with deeper industry knowledge already. 

At the moment I only have one strong healthcare pitch (with a potential short/hedge for it as well), but otherwise all my other current pitches are non-healthcare. Feel like pitch quality is most important at end of the day, but was just curious. Thanks!
