Humor: our five-year grandson (a twin) having a cookie for dessert: "O-E-R-O spells Arianna." Arianna is his "big" cousin. LOL. That's pretty good. His first language is Japanese.

Private hospital systems, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Mass General Brigham, Cedars-Sinai, Mount Sinai Health System, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital System, Stanford Health Care, UCLA Health, and Houston Methodist.

There's a reason I posted this. Stay Tuned. Query: Nashville. HCA Healthcare; Vanderbuilt University Medical Center, Ascension State Hospital, Saint Thomas West, Saint Thomas Midtown; Community Health Systems. Low-hanging fruit.
A few of my favorite things: Palantir; Anthropic (Claude 4); Stargate; xAi; Apple; Amazon.
Ad for Claude: Atlantic.
Holy tech, Batman: FTC drops case over Microsoft’s $69 billion Activision Blizzard deal. Wow!
Headlines suggest a lot of anaysts simply don't "get" the sixth industrial revolution.
