January 16, 2020<\/b> – A City Can Dream. That\u2019s the catchline Kannapolis emblazoned around its new baseball stadium and other downtown construction sites, reflecting one of the most ambitious municipal turnarounds in North Carolina\u2019s history. Dreams matter, to be sure, but it\u2019s also taken hundreds of millions of dollars and nearly a generation of strategizing to position North Carolina\u2019s most-famous textile town for a potential rebirth as a research center. It\u2019s happening, just much more slowly than promoters expected.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

\r\n

November 14, 2019<\/b> – Students in medical schools across the country spend less than 1 percent of lecture time learning about diet. Earlier this year, Mount Sinai, the biggest hospital network in New York City, invested in a meal delivery service. Though it seemed like an unusual move at the time, the network\u2019s decision makes sense if you consider the intrinsic relationship between food and health\u2014a connection underscored by countless other recent examples of healthcare initiatives that harness diet as a tool to improve well-being.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
