Nassau County Chamber of Commerce to Host 'Doing Business with Big Business' Events in April3/7/2023 The Nassau County Chamber of Commerce will host two ‘Doing Business with Big Business’ events in the month of April. The first event, with representatives from the private sector, will take place on Tuesday, April 4, 2023, from 8:30-10:00 AM. The second event, with representatives from the public sector, will take place on Thursday, April 6, 2023, from 8:30-10:00 AM. Both events will be held at the Nassau County Chamber of Commerce office, located at 961687 Gateway Blvd., Suite 101-G in Fernandina Beach.
‘Doing Business with Big Business’ is a program that provides small Nassau County businesses the unique opportunity to meet with some of the largest companies in our community. Attendees will gain insight into the decision-making process at big companies and learn what these organizations are looking for from smaller suppliers and service providers. This event is perfect for local, existing businesses, entrepreneurs and startups that want to learn more about how procurement works in large organizations and are looking to gain an understanding of the considerations of buyers during a negotiation. ‘Doing Business with Big Business’ is free for Nassau County Chamber of Commerce members, but advanced registration is required in order to attend.

Thank you all for your assistance in the creation of the Nassau County Community and Business Broadband Survey.
The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) has worked with a consulting firm to create an online version of both the Community and Business surveys. These surveys are connected to a GIS Backend. We will be able to graphically chart the results with such detailed information as Survey Address, Download Speed, Upload Speed, Location Type, and much more. This platform will also serve as an interactive repository for Nassau County broadband asset inventory (Towers, Fiber Plant, Conduit, Right of Way, DSL, satellite, Copper, Fixed Wireless, etc.). Community Survey: https://arcg.is/1jXvHb Business Survey: https://arcg.is/05CfDP0 We are requesting your assistance again. Please help us evaluate the system by taking both surveys. Be sure to select “Share Your Experience” at the end of the survey. The Testing Period will start Feb 21, 2023, and end March 07, 2023. The information gathered from this survey will be very important as we work to understand where we should focus our efforts to take advantage of the existing Broadband Opportunity Grants from the Department Economic Opportunity (DEO), the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program Grant. More importantly, it will assist in challenging the inaccurate FCC Data Mapping of our county, which is the base factor for nearly all the existing broadband grants. Be on the lookout for information regarding our next Local Broadband Planning Team Meeting. This should be coming via your email next month. Again, Thank you for your participation and support. For questions or concerns, please contact Derrick Lindsay, Chief Innovation Officer, at dlindsay@nassaucountyfl.com or (904) 530-6051. Baptist Nassau Crossing Medical Campus will bring a wide range of services to a convenient, new location in Nassau County.
Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 27, 2023 – Baptist Health will break ground in Spring 2023 on Baptist Nassau Crossing Medical Campus, a new freestanding Baptist & Wolfson Nassau Crossing Emergency Room & Imaging Center and medical office building, to provide additional health care services to the fast-growing areas of central and western Nassau County, Florida. The new property is located just east of I-95 on State Road 200. “Baptist Health has always been committed to making high-quality health care accessible to the community members we serve,” said Catherine Graham, MSH, senior vice president of clinical service lines and ambulatory business development. “Baptist Nassau Crossing Medical Campus will be a convenient hub with a wide range of medical services for all ages.” Emergency and imaging services The 23,879-square-foot emergency center features two emergency centers under one roof –Baptist Emergency Center for adults and Wolfson Children’s Emergency Center designed specifically for patients ages 0 to 17. More than 5,500 children in Nassau County sought emergency care between October 2021 - September 2022, according to Florida Agency for Health Care Administration’s Office of Data Collection and Quality Assurance. With the opening of this campus, families in Nassau County will have easier access to the specialized pediatric care of Wolfson Children’s, the only full-service children’s hospital in the region and the only state-designated Pediatric Trauma Center in Northeast Florida. The emergency facility will have an adjoining Imaging Center for outpatient imaging, equipped with the latest technology to provide X-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans, mammography and bone density screenings. The building is designed with the opportunity for future expansion as the community’s need for emergency services increases. Primary care and specialty physician services A 32,094-square-foot medical office building will be located behind the emergency center. Initially, the medical office building will house Baptist Primary Care and Baptist Behavioral Health, with the potential to add other specialty services. The Emergency & Imaging Center and medical office building, a $38 million investment for the health system, is scheduled to open in early 2024. “For nearly 30 years, Baptist Health has been serving the Nassau community,” said Ed Hubel, FACHE, hospital president of Baptist Medical Center Nassau. “It’s been incredible to see the growth, and we appreciate residents’ trust in us to help make the community an even healthier place to live!” Run.
