AdventHealth Florida Team Members Given Super Bowl Tickets. From AdventHealth, two AdventHealth Florida team members were surprised with Super Bowl tickets. Belinda Spahn, a critical care unit nurse at AdventHealth North Pinellas, and Heather Stegmeier, an infection control manager at AdventHealth Wesley Chapel received a personalized video message from Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski, inviting them to Super Bowl LV Tampa Bay. The two front-line caregivers were among 7,500 health care workers given the opportunity to attend the Super Bowl in person. The game also had special meaning to AdventHealth because the teams vying for the championship represented two of the health system’s largest markets.

Amid an increasing Big Tech push to implant devices into the human brain, a Christian neurology doctor has detailed the ethical parameters of mind-reading technology that companies like Facebook seek to utilize.
Dr. Travis Losey, the vice-chair of the department of neurology and co-director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Loma Linda University in southern California, said in an interview with The Christian Post that when it comes to the use of brain interface technology, the purpose should be to heal something that was harmed by disease or a disorder. The core ethical issue with the brain-computer interface is similar to issues with medication,” he offered. “I think it s only ethical to use medications when they are being used to restore function that has been lost or affected by a disease. The same principles would apply to brain-computer interfaces.”
