Right now, counties across America are pouring millions into healthcare infrastructure, and it's creating a ripple effect that smart healthcare entrepreneurs need to understand. Charleston County just broke ground on a 130,000-square-foot Emergency Medical Services headquarters, while counties nationwide are grappling with budget pressures and workforce shortages.
