A Star Tribune check-up on Minnesota's hospitals. They're actually doing a bit better, financially, in 2024, but the divide between the haves and have nots appears to be growing across the state: https://t.co/KQF1ZVqbyl

One of those humbling moments when I dipped back into the topic of AI in healthcare and realized the entire landscape had shifted since my last story. @AllinaHealth @FerrumHealth https://t.co/CRmOa6PF3i
