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.”
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 square-foot 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 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 met their set goal of $10,000 and the
check was presented to the 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!

Foundation and the Tallahassee Memorial Heart & Vascular

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.
