By GlobalData“This medical campus, backed by the expertise of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and Florida State University, is a crucial element for supporting the health and well-being of residents and visitors in every stage of life.
“It also has the potential to create synergistic opportunities between research, education, and clinical delivery, to enhance the quality of life throughout the region and beyond.”
Florida State University has been expanding its health research portfolio over the past few years and exploring collaborations with healthcare organisations like TMH.
Additionally, it has expanded student opportunities through its College of Medicine, by launching a programme to educate physician assistants.
TMH president and CEO Mark O’Bryant said: “Today’s construction kick-off comes at a pivotal time for TMH as we celebrate our 75th anniversary this year.
“TMH has identified a substantial need to expand health care services. Over the past seven and a half decades, we’ve built a reputation for excellent, compassionate, and local care, and we are proud to now offer our services to the Panama City Beach communities.”
With the help of a $125m allocation from the Florida Legislature, the institution intends to begin construction on the FSU Health Tallahassee Center on the TMH campus later this year.
