Child Rescue Coalition hosts regular volunteer sessions to make blankets with bears to comfort rescued kids. However, this one was different.

About 15 months ago, Modernizing Medicine moved its headquarters from FAU’s Research Park to the Boca Raton Innovation Campus, a 125-acre office park where IBM once had a large presence. Cane says he chose the location because of its symbolism as the birthplace of the IBM personal computer and because there’s ample room to grow. When renovations are completed later this year, Modernizing Medicine will occupy about 150,000 square feet, increasing its space by 80%. It also has offices in Roseville, Calif., and Santiago, Chile — the result of two acquisitions.
