Business of Healthcare Summit hosted by FSU addresses workforce shortage, talent retention and the use of AI.
The Florida State University Business of Healthcare Summit is part of the FSU Health initiative – an ambitious effort to connect the often-disparate conversations surrounding healthcare practice and operations.
Florida State students and industry leaders gathered to address how issues can be fixed in the near future.
Among the topics discussed are the healthcare worker shortage, accessibility to healthcare in rural areas and the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

Leon County becomes first to reduce carbon emissions with yard debris.
An environmental start-up, engineering company ReCap is turning Leon County yard waste into something more useful called biochar.
Biochar is a charcoal-like substance that is made from things like branches, tree limbs and twigs often used to help with soil fertilization.
Leon County leaders voted to continue a partnership with ReCap to recycle yard debris. They have converted 15 tons of yard waste into biochar, preventing nearly all the carbon produced by the waste from getting into the air.
