July/August - Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare

July / August 2012
Groundbreaking Ceremony
Tallahassee Memorial
Emergency Center - Northeast
Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare broke ground for its new freestanding emergency
center at the crossroads of I-10 and Thomasville Road on May 29. Projected to open in
May 2013, Tallahassee Memorial Emergency Center – Northeast will be designed and
equipped to handle most emergency situations and built with special consideration for
pediatric and geriatric patients and their families.
“At TMH, we are excited about the expansion of our emergency services to include
an off-campus, freestanding facility that focuses on delivering high quality, emergency
services with a team of board certified emergency physicians,” said Mark O’Bryant,
President & CEO, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare. “TMH is most grateful for the
cooperation and input it has received from those who will be neighbors to the new
emergency center.”
“Tallahassee Memorial Emergency Center - Northeast has special features to help
our youngest and oldest patients as well as state-of-the art concierge emergency
medicine for all members of our Big Bend community,” said Albert Lee, M.D., Chair of
the Tallahassee Memorial Medical Executive Committee.
According to Sam Ashoo, M.D., Medical Director, Tallahassee Memorial Emergency
Services, “For pediatric and geriatric patients, this facility offers a less stressful
environment to seek emergency medical care. Tallahassee Memorial Emergency Center
- Northeast features a separate entrance and interactive waiting area for children and
their families, while dimmed lighting, low-glare flooring, and stretchers with thicker
mattresses were selected to make geriatric patients more comfortable.”
Mark O’Bryant, President & CEO, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and Kim
Williams, Chair, Tallahassee Memorial Board of Directors
Kim Williams, Chair of the TMH Board of Directors and former Chair of the Economic
Development Council of Tallahassee/Leon County, sees a boost to the local economy.
“The new emergency center will create more than 150 jobs, including nursing,
respiratory therapy, and security positions. TMH will also support the local economy
with construction costs, including labor and materials, to complete this 45,000 squarefoot facility.”
Freda Lyon, Administrator, Tallahassee Memorial Emergency Services, presided over
the ceremony that included presentations by Mr. O’Bryant, Dr. Lee, Dr. Ashoo and
Mr. Williams along with remarks by John Marks, Mayor, City of Tallahassee and Akin
Akinyemi, Chairman, Leon County Commission and Commissioner at Large.

The facility is also being designed, constructed, and operated according to Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards to reduce
the center’s impact on the environment. TMH selected CRA and FreemanWhite, Inc. in a joint partnership to design the area’s first freestanding
emergency center. CRA is a Tallahassee firm that specializes in health care and educational facilities. FreemanWhite, Inc. is an emergency department
design consulting firm that has completed over 200 emergency centers in the U.S. and is considered the national leader in the field.
Throughout the course of this project, TMH will use several forms of communication to relay information to those it serves. On the official website
dedicated to this project — TMHNewER.BlogSpot.com — TMH will provide the latest news on the progress of Tallahassee Memorial Emergency
Center - Northeast.
Second Annual Battle of the Bands
Lincoln High School Students Raise $10,000 for the Tallahassee Memorial Heart & Vascular Center
The competition at Lincoln High School’s Jimmy Everett Track was
fierce on Friday, April 27, 2012. The battle was not one of sport, but
rather one of student bands playing and bringing the community
together to raise funds for the Tallahassee Memorial Heart &
Vascular Center.
Over 900 people attended Lincoln High School’s second annual
Battle of the Bands, which featured twelve Leon County high school
bands and over 30 local businesses that sponsored the event with
donations of both cash and services. Vendor and service booths
surrounded Jimmy Everett Track as the bands “showcased their stuff”
on two stages. Activity and excitement filled the infield.
Through the
leadership of Lincoln
Principal Allen Burch
and coordination by
the “Battle’s” lead
teachers -- Beth Button
and Billie Ann Gay -Lincoln High School’s
Trojans canvassed the
community to raise both
dollars and awareness
of heart disease. In
that effort, the students
The “Battle of the Bands” Winner: “Shenanigans”
met their set goal of
featuring students from Chiles High School –
$10,000 and the check
Hunter Mobley, Nathan Klawinski, David Ibarra
was presented to the
and Drew Dietzen
TMH Foundation during
the “Battle’s” closing ceremony. The Foundation was represented
by its President and CEO Paula Fortunas, Development Director
Aaron Kinnon and Lisa Mullee, Director of Tallahassee Memorial
Cardiovascular Labs, along with Wayne Batchelor, M.D., a cardiologist
at Southern Medical Group – one of the event’s leading sponsors.

Dr. Batchelor, who was the principal speaker, noted: “With heart
disease killing more men and women each year than any other
disease in the world, including all causes of cancer combined, it is
wonderful to witness Lincoln High School dedicating so much time
and effort to this worthy cause. The resounding success of the
“Battle of the Bands” is clearly the result of the hard work of many.
We thank the Lincoln High School administration, teachers, student
body, as well as the event coordinators and sponsors, for supporting
TMH in its continued fight against heart disease.”
In response to the insightful and community-minded decision by
the Lincoln students, Ms. Mullee said, “I am so proud and excited
that Lincoln High School has chosen to serve the community by
raising awareness of heart disease and donating to the Tallahassee
Memorial Heart & Vascular Center with its specialization in the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease.”
“With a two-year total topping $17,000, and Lincoln High School’s
ongoing commitment to the “Battle of the Bands” and its partnership
with the TMH Foundation, the Trojans will be recognized for fighting
heart disease,” said Mr. Kinnon. “A particular naming opportunity has
not been determined but Lincoln High School will soon be honored in
the Tallahassee Memorial Heart & Vascular Center.”
This year’s “Battle” is over, but the war against heart disease
continues, and the Lincoln High School Trojans are once again
making “Battle” plans for next year. Don’t just sit on the sidelines,
plan to come next year and join in the fight – against heart disease!
