LATEST TMH ALUMNI ARE STICKING AROUND
Pictured here are the Class of 2008 alumni who just graduated from the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program. And if you question the importance of having residency programs in Florida, please note: All seven are remaining in North Florida, including five in Tallahassee.

From left: John Streacker (will be going to Patients First in Tallahassee), Cody VanLandingham (Tallahassee Primary Care Associates), Nathanael Hawkins (Calhoun Liberty Hospital & Northwest Florida Community Hospital), Patrick Hawkins (Doctors Memorial Hospital in Bonifay), Amy Reimer Neal (Capital Health Plan in Tallahassee), Randa Perkins (Tallahassee Memorial) and Amanda Shearer (Tallahassee Primary Care Associates).

LOVE THOSE UPDATES
The upcoming issue of FSU MED magazine will have several pages of newsy updates about the alumni from the classes of 2005 through 2010. New achievements, new jobs, new towns, new children. Alumni, you should never underestimate how interested your former campuses are in how things are going for you. Being student-centered means that we keep caring about you even when you’re no longer students.

So this is a reminder to you – and your significant others, your parents and whoever else might be reading – that those updates are easy to do. (If that link isn’t working, go to www.med.fsu.edu. Click on “Alumni & Friends.” Under the text block, click on “Update Your Directory Information.” Then update away.)

We also appreciate getting your latest contact information, so we can let you know about the latest developments here at the med school.

If you have questions, email Alumni Affairs Coordinator Alexa Von Staden or call (850) 645-9428.

SUPPORTING MEDICAL EDUCATION FOR FLORIDA’S FUTURE
We deeply appreciate the generosity of the College of Medicine’s many friends. Without their financial support, many of the high-quality programs essential to our students’ learning experience would be lost to budget adjustments necessary in today’s financial environment. We extend our profound thanks to the many donors who’ve responded to help support this medical school since it was created in 2000.

The brick walkway surrounding the medical school’s courtyard is filled with messages that donors have sent to past graduates. Personalized bricks are still available, and now there are more options than ever. The College of Medicine’s Legacy Celebration Program offers other opportunities as well.

If you would like to discuss making a gift in support of the College of Medicine’s vital role preparing new physicians to meet the challenges of Florida’s health-care needs, please contact Wayne Munson, assistant dean for development, 850-644-4389.
