Community First. Locally Governed
Keeping Healthcare Local: Why Community Ownership Matters
Your hospital should serve you—not an outside institution. That’s why we’re excited to partner with FSU to establish an Academic Health Center (AHC) that combines world-class research, education, and patient care—while preserving TMH as a locally governed community asset.
Our long-standing collaboration with FSU has already proven that we can achieve the best of both worlds—unmatched medical advancements without sacrificing local control.
While academic medical centers are essential for research and education, handing over local control to a university-owned hospital isn’t in our community’s best interest.
