Limbitless is just one example of how innovation in The Corridor is driving the
future of health care.
THE HEALTH CARE LANDSCAPE
In 2015, the U.S. spent more than $3 trillion on health care. That is nearly
$10,000 per person, per the Department of Health and Human Services.
Nationally, health spending is projected to grow at an average rate of 5.6
percent per year from 2016 through 2025.
Given the cost and a need for accessible health care to maintain a healthy
population overall, the industry is on the verge of change.
Florida holds a unique position in the national health care landscape. Home to
19.9 million people, making it the third-most populous state in the U.S., Florida’s
hospitals and health systems can influence change.
