Midday Metro starts after the 11 a.m. news

The newly-created Health System Reform Task Force had its first meeting last week.  With the daunting task of fixing health care in Utah, how far has this lawmaker group gotten in one meeting? Midday Metro talks with Sen. Gene Davis, a Democrat from Salt Lake County and a task force member.

 

Business plan competitions at area universities are more than academic exercises. There's real cash at stake, and great business ideas can vault into primetime due to the exposure. Midday Metro talks with students Nate Alder and Ben Maughan of Klymit, which captured the $50,000 prize at this month's competition at Brigham Young University.

 

Two trends that will change the way occupational health nurses interact with worker populations and community groups are nanotechnology and genetic surveillance - topics on the agenda at the American Association of Occupational Health Nurses Symposium and Expo that starts Friday in Salt Lake City. Dr. Linda McCauley explains the basics to Midday Metro.
