Mark O’Bryant, Chief Executive Officer of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare said, "For nearly 80 years, TMH has grown alongside this community, always looking for new ways to bring better care closer to home. Our work with FSU, including the academic medical center strategy we developed together in 2021, has created an opportunity to build on that legacy in ways we could not achieve alone. Our patients, physicians, advanced practice providers and colleagues can expect the same commitment to exceptional, compassionate care, strengthened by new opportunities to advance medicine, educate future healthcare professionals and bring more specialized care and innovation closer to home.”
