Florida State University

City officials field questions about the conversations around selling Tallahassee Memorial Hospital to Florida State University during a panel discussion.

Speaking to a gathering of Tallahassee business leaders, Mark O'Bryant said one idea is for FSU to partner with TMH to create a teaching and research hospital on top of its role of healing center.

Florida State sought more than $413 million in bonds for the facility, which will part of a new medical campus and operated under the "FSU Health" brand by Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare.

A discussion on the future of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare isn’t over, but during a meeting on the issue, most city commissioners agreed they want the hospital to remain locally owned.

The school would enter a long-term lease and management agreement with Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare to operate the facility under the “FSU Health” brand.

The new building will serve as the city’s urgent care and cardiovascular treatment facility. It is the first phase of joint venture involving FSU, Tallahassee Memorial and the St. Joe Co.

A memorandum of understanding was completed to create a governance structure for a new academic health center in Tallahassee and medical campus in Panama City Beach.

Dr. Kristen Dimas, a native of the small migrant community, discusses her role as director of the new Family Medicine Residency Program, and what motivated her to give back.

The program is funded through a grant from the National Institutes of Health and is part of a two-year intervention study aimed at reducing stigma for people who are HIV positive and for members of Vietnam’s gay and bisexual communities.

The center, a joint venture of the two institutions, will provide about 130,000-square-feet of medical and research-related space.
