TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Tallahassee Community College Foundation started the New Year with incredibly exciting news when it received a $100,000 pledge towards its Healthcare Provision and Excellence Campaign from an anonymous donor.

The Healthcare Provision and Excellence Campaign enables Tallahassee Community College to continue serving the community by educating future outstanding healthcare professionals. The campaign supports TCC’s expanding healthcare programs by providing investments for facilities, state-of-the-art technology, student support services, scholarships and more. TCC’s healthcare programs recently completed their first semester in the new 88,000 square foot Ghazvini Center for Healthcare Education, culminating in pinning ceremonies for radiologic technology and nursing graduates.

“I don’t think it is possible to overstate the generosity of this gift,” said Dr. Jim Murdaugh, president of TCC, “or the impact that it’s going to have on the state of healthcare in our community. A contribution such as this will have a positive influence for years to come, helping educate healthcare professionals whose careers will serve hundreds of patients and even save lives.”

Almena Pettit, a member the TCC Foundation’s Board of Directors and the campaign’s Lead Gift Committee, agreed. "The support of so many local individuals and organizations has been incredible to witness during this campaign. We are so grateful for this generous gift, and we are excited about the future of the healthcare education students and programs at TCC and what they mean to our community.”
