The Israeli nonprofit Start-Up Nation Central recently announced a new initiative, Hospital2Hospital, which brings together Baptist Health South Florida’s Baptist Health Innovations and Sheba Medical Center’s ARC Innovation in Israel.

“These organizations will collaborate to find innovative solutions for improving hospital care delivery and clinical capacity in a cost-effective manner via a tech challenge for emerging startups,” per a release.

Start-up companies in their early stages in Israel, which seek to expand in the U.S. healthcare system, are invited to apply to a tech challenge, whose winner will receive $75,000 to work with Baptist Health and gain mentorship from ARC.
