Media Roundtable Week in Review Logo

  We discuss the week's biggest news stories with our roundtable of local journalists: A.G. Gancarski, Folio Weekly and Florida Politics columnist; and WJCT business analyst John Burr.

Topics this week include new Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry and Sheriff Mike Williams, the results of the Jacksonville Office of General Counsel's study on LGBT discrimination in the city and more.

    Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute are the first the region offering MAKOplasty Hip Arthroplasty. This technology is the latest innovation in total hip replacement surgery performed using the RIO system, a highly advanced, surgeon-controlled robotic arm that enables the accurate alignment and positioning of implants. Orthopedic surgeon Brett Frykberg, MD, with Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute and Baptist Health, joins us with more.
