FAU College of Engineering and Computer Science Partners with BDB on Palm Beach County Healthcare Asset Map

The  Florida Atlantic University (FAU) College of Engineering and Computer Science  has played a key role in developing the new  Palm Beach County Healthcare Asset Map , a comprehensive interactive tool launched by the  Business Development Board (BDB) of Palm Beach County  in collaboration with CEOs from every major hospital in the county.  

The Healthcare Asset Map offers an accessible visualization of Palm Beach County’s healthcare landscape, allowing users to explore hospital locations, specialties,  and  services. Designed to be nefit   both residents and professionals, the map also serves as a strategic resource that highlights the region’s rapidly growing healthcare ecosystem.  

The project was chaired by  BDB Executive Committee Board Member Gina Melby and developed in partnership with FAU, led by Dr. Sudhagar Nagarajan , associate professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geomatics Engineering, with support from  President Adam Hasner ,  Executive Vice President Stacy  Volnick , and the contributions of FAU undergraduate student  Andrew Hurst .  

“The College of Engineering and Computer Science appl ied  our expertise in data visualization and systems engineering to a project that directly benefits our community,” said  Stella  Batalama , Ph.D. , dean of FAU’s College of Engineering and Computer Science. “By  creating  an accessible and interactive platform, we   a re supporting Palm Beach County’s goal to connect residents, providers, and businesses while  showcasing  the region’s world-class healthcare resources.  As Palm Beach County experiences significant population growth and economic expansion, the Healthcare Asset Map underscores FAU’s commitment to  community-focused innovation , applying engineering and computer science  expertise  to enhance regional collaboration and public access to essential resources.”  

Phase 1 of the Healthcare Asset Map focuses on hospitals currently  operating  in Palm Beach County. Future phases will expand to include specialty facilities and hospitals under construction, ensuring the tool  remains  up to date as the region’s healthcare infrastructure continues to grow.
