HEALTHCARE AND MEDTECH The healthcare industry is a perennial driver of the Miami economy. According to a Beacon Council study, 3 of the top 10 major private employers in Miami were healthcare providers, accounting for over a third of the employment estimates in that range. Historically, Miami has been a center for healthcare services, and with its proximity to Latin America, the opportunity for designing and innovating healthcare technology that has a global impact is significant. Miami has the second highest concentration of healthcare providers in the country that tap into South Florida's strong network of universities and hospitals. This is promising for strong growth in both traditional and cutting edge healthcare products and care. Through its threads for threads™ initiative, for every set of scrubs sold, FIGS gives a set to a healthcare provider in need. To date, FIGS has donated over 90,000 sets of scrubs in 26 countries through this program. Clean scrubs reduce hospital-acquired infection rates by 66%, so these donations make a huge impact!
