Orlando Health on Monday said it will be spending more than $750 million over the next four years on a new hospital at a still-to-be-announced location in Brevard County; free-standing emergency departments in north, central and southern Brevard; and physician offices.
For the first time in 25 years, a new hospital is opening its doors in the District. Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center is officially open in Ward 8 on Tuesday, bringing much-needed healthcare services to Southeast D.C. The new hospital replaces United Medical Center, which was Ward 8's only hospital, but it's closing on Tuesday after its maternal ward was shut down due to poor services.
A simulation model found that nationwide implementation of medically tailored meal programs could save about $32 billion in health care costs in the first year alone, researchers say. The program would also prevent more than 3.5 million hospitalizations a year related to complications from diabetes, heart disease and cancer, researchers said.
Researchers have been developing new ways to train machine learning algorithms with fewer labels. By first training a machine learning model to fill in the blanks of large-scale unlabeled bio-signal data, the machine learning model is primed to learn the relationship between a bio-signal and a disorder with fewer labels.
