Allow me to welcome you to Tallahassee or strongly encourage you to make the decision to call Tallahassee your new home.

I have had the privilege of calling Tallahassee home since moving here in 1978, seeking professional opportunity and a better place to live than a big city. It was one of the best decisions of my life.

I consider Tallahassee a “big little city,” a vibrant and diverse place where you’ll find government in action, a college-town lifestyle, Southern hospitality and a bustling dining and shopping culture.

Too, it is an area that has seasonal change and offers quality of life and opportunity — opportunity that has allowed Rowland Publishing Inc. to become the region’s leader in producing niche magazines and telling timeless stories of interest through publications such as the Tallahassee Newcomer Guide and

the Tallahassee Physicians & Medical Resource Guide. We developed this magazine 20 years ago to provide new residents a quick reference guide to resources that our community offers.

So as you settle in, begin enjoying all that our Capital City, college town and the warmth of a Southern city can offer. If you want to know more about the fabric of our community, find and read another of our publications, Tallahassee Magazine, which has been telling the story of this area for more than 40 years. There you’ll get to know the people of our great city and learn about all of the events that make our community so special.

Welcome home, Brian Rowland Publisher browland@rowlandpublishing.com

On behalf of Leon County Government, I want to be the first to thank you for choosing Florida’s capital county as your new home! As you meet your neighbors and make new friends, I think you will find that moving here was one of the best decisions you could have made. Leon County is a warm, welcoming community that embraces its diversity. Whatever your background and aspirations, you are likely to form a special, genuine connection with this community.

Our citizens here enjoy an unmatched quality of life. Excellent universities and colleges, combined with top K-12 schools, make Leon County the most educated county in the state. We also feature a broad range of world-class recreational, cultural and educational activities. Our calendar is overflowing with concerts, festivals, museum tours, sporting events and art shows to suit every interest.

As a new resident, you will also find Leon County to be one of the most beautiful, historically rich and naturally breathtaking

places anywhere. My wife, two daughters and I spend a lot of time hiking our beautiful trails, playing in our awardwinning parks and paddling on our lakes and rivers. You will find so much to explore in our great outdoors, and we make it easy to get started at Trailahassee.com.

We work each day to create and sustain this special place as one that is welcoming, healthy, safe and vibrant — truly one of the best places to live, work and raise a family. And we welcome your ideas and active engagement in shaping the future of our community together.

Chances are you will find a lot more than you expected in Tallahassee-Leon County, and hopefully your happiest times are just getting started.

Welcome home!

ALMANAC

A COMPENDIUM OF FACTS AND FIGURES — AND JUST PLAIN FUN STUFF TO KNOW

• Tallahassee is positioned 30.45 degrees north of the equator and 84.28 degrees west of the prime meridian. Its elevation is 203 feet above sea level.

• The city was incorporated on Dec. 9, 1825. It has a total area of 103.1 square miles.

• Leon County’s population was 292,817 in the 2021 census. It was 275,487 in 2010 and 240,201 in 2000.

• At 22 stories, Florida’s Capitol is the tallest building in the city. The modern structure was built behind the more classically styled “old” Capitol, which was supposed to be demolished after the new building was completed. However, the Historic Capitol was preserved, and the juxtaposition of the old and new buildings creates a unique vista for those driving westward on Apalachee Parkway.

• Florida’s Prime Meridian — the marker from which all surveying in the state is based — is located about a quarter-mile away from the Capitol building in Cascades Park in a plaza behind the Capital City Amphitheater.

• Tallahassee was the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi River that did not fall to the Union army.

• Tallahassee is the only municipality in Leon County, and about 66% of county residents live within the city limits. Voters have gone to the polls four times (1971, 1973, 1976, 1992) to vote on consolidating the city and county into one entity, but it was rejected each time.

• All of Tallahassee and Leon County is within Florida’s 2nd congressional district, represented since Jan. 3, 2017, by Republican Neal Dunn. Florida’s two U.S. senators are Republicans Marco Rubio, since 2011, and Rick Scott, since 2019.

• Historians suspected that Hernando de Soto wintered in Tallahassee in 1539 during his explorations, and in 1987 a state archaeologist, the late B. Calvin Jones, pinpointed and excavated the site. About a mile away from the Capitol building, it is the only site in the U.S. definitively associated with the de Soto expedition.

LET IT SNOW? Tallahassee can be considerably colder than Central and South Florida, with temperatures dipping below freezing on some winter nights. But don’t break out the skis and snow boots just yet. According to the local office of the National Weather Service, Tallahassee has had measurable snowfall only eight times since 1891. However, Tallahassee saw its first measurable snowfall in almost three decades in January 2018, when 0.1 inches was recorded. It was the first snow in Tallahassee since December 1989, when 1 inch fell, and it’s the first recorded measurable snowfall in the capital city during the month of January since April 1885. The most snow Tallahassee has seen, 2.8 inches, fell in February 1958.

WELCOME to Tallahassee

STATE OF FLORIDA

Florida’s state government is overseen by the governor and three elected members of the state Cabinet — the Agriculture Commissioner, Attorney General and Chief Financial Officer.

Each resident is also represented by a member of the Florida House of Representatives and a member of the Florida Senate. The House has 120 members, the Senate has 40. Leon County is represented by House Districts 7, 8 and 9 and by Senate District 3.

To determine which House and Senate districts you live in, you can contact the Leon County Supervisor of Elections. You can also use your zip code on the legislative websites (flsenate.gov or myfloridahouse.gov) to determine your representative and senator.

Representatives are elected every two years. Senators are elected every four years.

LEON COUNTY

Leon County is guided by an elected, seven-member Board of County Commissioners. Five board members are elected to serve specific commission districts, and two members are elected at-large. Each year, members of the board select a chairman and vice chairman from within the group. The Leon County Administrator and County Attorney are appointed by the board to oversee all functions, directives and policies.

Other Leon County elected officials include county and circuit court judges, the State Attorney, Public Defender, the School Board, Superintendent and five constitutional officers: Clerk of the Court, Property Appraiser, Sheriff, Supervisor of Elections and Tax Collector.

CITY OF TALLAHASSEE

The Mayor and four-member City Commission are the governing body of the city, and all serve four-year terms. All of the seats are nonpartisan and there are no districts: All members are elected citywide. The terms of office are staggered, with elections for two commission seats held every other year. The mayor, who is elected to that particular position, has a vote at commission meetings but no veto power.

Tallahassee’s executive staff — the City Manager, Attorney, Auditor and Treasurer/Clerk — are appointed to their positions by the city commission.

A wealth of information about the Tallahassee City Commission, as well as city operations and services can be found at the talgov.com website.

2022–23 Tallahassee Newcomer 11

You’re in Luck; You’re in Tallahassee

Hi there, you must be new. This calls for an introduction. Welcome to Tallahassee, neighbor, or as we affectionately call her — Tally.

There’s a stack of flattened boxes 3-feet high at the curb in front of your new home. And now you’re looking at a list of to-do’s longer than an FSU graduation ceremony. It’s hard to know where to begin. Grab a glass of wine or sweet tea, and let’s figure this out together.

What’s that? Yes, sweet tea. You call it “tea with sugar?” Oh, you do have a lot to learn. Let us serve you as your guide to Florida’s capital city.

Whether you’re in search of great schools, a family doctor, scrumptious eats, things to do or you just need to get your water turned on, we’ve done your homework for you.

To begin with, you’re in luck. Tallahassee is rich in Southern hospitality. You’ll always find someone willing to lend a hand, share a smile or joke around in the grocery line. But don’t go hanging around the water cooler without brushing up on college sports. This is, after all, a football town.

But it’s much more than that.

Tallahassee is the hub of innovation, education, government, culture and commerce situated in the midst of beautiful topography that lies between the rolling Red Hills region, with its rich farmland, and the northern crest of the Woodville Karst Plain, a coastal lowland dotted with springs and transected by wild rivers.

Here in town, we tap into these natural assets with lush parks and greenways,

fresh Gulf seafood and farmers markets. Stroll the manicured grounds at the Alfred B. Maclay Gardens. Whiz from tree to tree on zip lines and come face-to-face with black bears, red wolves and the Florida panther at the Tallahassee Museum. Or travel back in time to 1703 and break bread with Apalachee Native Americans and early Spanish settlers at Mission San Luis.

When you are ready to escape the city, the area affords you lots of day-trip options. The historic St. Marks lighthouse, the salty city of Apalachicola and St. George Island’s beaches are all within a two-hour drive. The St. Marks, Ochlockonee, Wakulla and (my personal favorite) Wacissa rivers are perfect for kayaking and small boats. While the Ochlockonee attracts anglers pursuing bass and bream, the Wakulla is a good bet for catching a glimpse of our lovable manatees. The crisp, spring-fed waters of the Wacissa surrender arrowheads and fossils to those who know what to look for.

Time to eat? Tallahassee’s locally owned restaurants have been inspired by cultures the world over. For Far Eastern cuisine, I recommend Lemongrass or Lucy Ho’s Azu. For my Greek/Lebanese fix, Sahara and Little Athens are go-to’s. When I’m craving carbs, Tour of Italy serves some of the best pasta in town. But you don’t have to take my word for it; consult the Facebook group “Tallahassee Foodies,” a community

No other place, from Pensacola to Jacksonville to Key West, embraces its arts, neighbors, nightlife, bike paths, history, college sports and canopy roads in such a way.

of upbeat locals who will point you in the right direction.

Tallahassee is home to two major universities. Florida State is highly regarded as a center of research and boasts outstanding programs in criminal justice, sports management, motion picture arts and more. Florida A&M, the only historically black school in the State University System of Florida, is home to a much lauded pharmacy school, a celebrated masters in business administration program and a nationally recognized marching band, the Marching 100.

Music and theater lovers frequent the amphitheater at Cascades Park for performances big and small. Tallahassee’s collection of delightful and eclectic juke joints includes Bird’s Aphrodisiac Oyster Shack.

WELCOME to Tallahassee

After a beer or two at Bird’s, extend your evening by heading to Midtown and sampling its humming nightlife.

Among the city’s festivals, Springtime Tallahassee — with its parades, music, food, markets and children’s events — is the grandest of them all.

The arts thrive in downtown Tallahassee. Murals and other types of public art line the streets. Check out the crafts and curios that vendors at the Saturday Downtown Marketplace have to offer. Take in the exhibits and enjoy the bird’s eye view at the Capitol’s 22nd-floor gallery; admire the work of local artists at the LeMoyne Arts Gallery; or become part of the Railroad Square Art District’s First Friday gatherings.

Or do nothing at all.

There are those days when nothing beats sitting in the shade of a live oak with another glass of sweet tea.

But first, let’s get that piano of yours moved. It looks like you could use some help.

SOLID WASTE

Your Own Utilities provides solid waste services for all residents who live inside the city limits. Solid waste crews collect garbage and recycling once a week at the curb; yard waste and bulky items are collected every other week. Schedules and information on solid waste services are mailed to customers once a year. Charges for solid waste service are included on the customer’s monthly utility bill. Customers can view their pickup schedule or report a missed pickup by visiting Talgov.com/ YOU or by calling Utility Customer Service at (850) 891-4YOU (4968).

HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE

Rolling garbage containers are provided to residents for household garbage disposal. If utility customers don’t have a garbage or recycling container at their home, they can call 891-4YOU (4968) to request one to be delivered.

Garbage is collected once a week at curbside. Customers’ containers should be at the curb no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection day and should be at least 3 feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes or shrubbery and away from low-hanging lines. Garbage containers must be removed from the curb no later than the day after service.

Non-hazardous and non-recyclable materials should be placed in garbage bags before being put in the container.

Customers with medical/physical limitations who are unable to roll their garbage container to the curb can apply for Helping Hands Service at no additional charge. Back-door garbage and recycling premium services may also be purchased in accordance with the established rates. To apply for either service or for more information, call 891-4YOU (4968) or visit Talgov.com/YOU.

RECYCLING

The City of Tallahassee makes recycling convenient. No sorting is needed, and all plastic, glass, metal and cardboard can be placed together in the recycling container. Recyclable items include plastic containers holding less than 3 gallons, metal cans, glass bottles, newspapers, magazines and cardboard. Plastic bags and Styrofoam are not recyclable.

To avoid bugs and odors, cans, bottles and jars should be rinsed out. Crushing containers and breaking down boxes will increase the amount of material that will fit into the recycling container. For a complete list of recyclable items and a list of where to recycle items that don’t go into the container, visit Talgov.com/YOU.

Recycling is scheduled for pickup every week on the same day as garbage pickup. Containers should be at the curb no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection day. The container should be placed so that it is at least 3 feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes or shrubbery and not located under low-hanging lines. The recycling container must be removed from the curb no later than the day after service to prevent a safety hazard.

Customers with medical/physical limitations who are unable to roll their container to the curb can apply for Helping Hands Service at no additional charge. To apply for this service, call (850) 891-4YOU (4968) or visit Talgov.com/YOU.

YARD WASTE

Yard waste is scheduled for pickup from the curb every other week according the customer’s Red/Blue week schedule. Yard waste includes grass clippings, pine straw, leaves, twigs, small limbs and shrub trimmings. If placed at the curb off schedule, it will be picked up on the next scheduled collection day. Customers may request a special collection to have waste removed prior to the scheduled collection day for a fee.

Items should not be loose; they should be in heavy-duty plastic or paper trash bags or cardboard boxes. Limbs and trimmings that can’t be bagged should be stacked in piles no higher than 4 feet. The maximum size of limbs is 6 feet long and

4 inches in diameter. Larger items should be properly disposed of by the customer or scheduled for a special pickup by calling (850) 891-4YOU (4968). If a special pickup is requested, the fee for collection will be added to the customer’s utility bill.

BULKY ITEMS

Bulky items are scheduled for pickup from the curb every other week according the customer’s Red/Blue week schedule. Bulky items are those that are too large to fit in the garbage barrel and are not yard waste. These include furniture, mattresses, bicycles, appliances, swing sets, lawn furniture, barbecue grills and plastic pools. If placed at the curb off schedule, they will be picked up on the next scheduled collection day. Customers may request a special collection to have waste removed prior to the scheduled collection day for a fee.

Hazardous waste items that cannot be collected as bulky items include car batteries, paint cans still containing paint, tires and electronics. Other hazardous waste can be taken to the Leon County landfill’s household hazardous waste center. Electronics can be donated to Goodwill or placed at the curb for pickup on Thursday of the customer’s scheduled week.

VEhICLE ANd VOTER REGISTRATION

VOTER REGISTRATION

Residents may register to vote any time of the year. To register, you must be a U.S. citizen, a Florida resident and in full possession of your civil rights. If you have been adjudicated as mentally incapacitated or if you have been convicted of a felony, call the Office of Executive Clemency at (850) 488-2952 to restore your rights.

You must be 18 years old to register. You may pre-register if you are 17 or if you have a valid driver’s license before your 17th birthday. To vote in an upcoming election, you must be registered to vote 29 days prior to the day of the election. Changes in political party must also be updated before the registration deadline.

Florida is a closed primary state, meaning only voters who are registered members of political parties may vote for their respective party’s candidates in a partisan primary election. Those registered as independents or with minor parties are eligible to vote in primaries

that have nonpartisan elections. A universal primary may occur when the only candidates for a public office are of the same political party. In that case, all registered voters in the candidates’ race may participate, regardless of party affiliation. In general elections, all voters may vote for any candidate or question on their precinct-specific ballot.

Florida voter applications are available at the Supervisor of Elections’ office at 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway.

You may also register to vote at all public schools, libraries, driver’s license offices, public assistance agencies, as well as numerous banks and businesses around the capital city. Or you can download the registration form from the Supervisor of Elections website, leonvotes.org.

There are three ways to vote: by mail with an absentee ballot, early voting prior to the election and on election day at the 165 polling locations in Leon County. Absentee ballots are mailed at least 45 days prior to an election and can be tracked by the voter on the Supervisor of Elections website.

You can visit the website and, with a few keystrokes, know your voter registration status in Leon County. The site offers complete information about upcoming elections, precincts, elected officials and more. Or, call (850) 606-VOTE (8683) for more information.

and highways are required to obtain a Florida driver's license within 30 days of becoming a resident. Customers are required to present proof of legal name and lawful presence (birth certificate or passport and any legal documents pertaining to name change), Social Security number (Social Security card or W2) and two forms of residential address (two pieces of official mail from two different companies). All required documents have to be originals, no copies. A new resident is exempt from taking any test if they can provide evidence of a driver's license issued in another jurisdiction. There are fees associated with all transactions performed.

Documentation attesting a change of address for in-state drivers moving to Tallahassee, must be submitted to one of the Leon County Tax Collector’s offices or online at flhsmv.gov within 30 days of a move

VEHICLE REGISTRATION

In the state of Florida, motor vehicles are required by law to be registered and titled within 30 days of the owner becoming employed, placing children in school or establishing residency. To obtain a vehicle registration, you will need proof of ownership (original out-ofstate or in-state title), Florida insurance and your identification. If you are still making loan payments on your vehicle and your out-of-state title is being held by a lienholder, the current out-of-state registration is needed along with the name and address of the lienholder. The Tax Collector’s office will assist you in contacting the lender to obtain the vehicle title. All pre-owned, out-of-state vehicles coming into the state of Florida will need a vehicle identification number verification. This verification can be done at the Tax Collector’s office as long as weather permits.

Florida license plates are valid until midnight of the owner’s birthday. License plate renewals are accepted 90 days prior to the registered owner’s birth month. Registration fees are assessed according to the weight of the motor vehicle.

There are fees to register and title vehicles. For more information, call DHSMV at (850) 617-2000 for assistance.

Fortunately, obtaining your Florida driver's license, vehicle registration, title and license plate can all be done at any of the Tax Collector’s offices. Go to LeonTaxCollector.net for locations. Due to COVID-19, please make an appointment online or by calling (850) 606-4700. Face coverings are encouraged in all service centers. These locations accept cash, check and all major credit and debit cards.

SchoolS

Local public schools are under the direction of the Leon County School Board. A wealth of information about local public education and individual schools is available on the district’s website at leon.k12.fl.us. The site includes information on registering new students, as well as an easy-to-use page to determine what school zones you live in.

Parents registering a student for the first time should be prepared to provide proof of residence (such as a utility bill), the child’s birth certificate and other identification, proof of immunizations and, if appropriate, transcript information from the child’s previous school. For more information, call (850) 487-7100.

You can learn what bus routes serve your area by accessing the school system’s Transportation Department web page.

REGISTRATION

Parents with children who will be entering kindergarten or who will be attending public school in Leon County for the first time are encouraged to register their kids during preregistration, which schools generally hold in late April and/or early May for the next school year. Schools continue taking registrations throughout the summer for new families moving to Tallahassee. In all cases, parents should contact their zoned schools to get the registration process started as soon as possible after securing their residence. Students who will be entering kindergarten must have certain immunization documentation on file at school before the start of the new school year.

Students entering seventh grade need documentation of a Td/Tdap booster vaccine. The Leon County Health Department provides routine back-to-school immunizations Monday through Friday by appointment or

at special extended-hour immunization clinics. All children receiving immunizations through the Health Department must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

PUBLIC SCHOOL OPTIONS

Leon County also offers a variety of school choice options to provide as many options as possible to maximize student learning. There are a variety of special programs available, such as International Baccalaureate, science, technology and fine arts. Families apply by March 1 of each school year for controlled choice that includes magnet schools and other special programs. Contact the School Choice Office at (850) 487-7546 for more information about attendance zones and choice options.

CHARTER SCHOOL OPTIONS

Charter Schools are public schools contracting with the district to provide services to students. Leon County has five charter schools. Each offers a unique opportunity and setting. Families can obtain more information about each school by visiting their websites or calling the schools directly.

HOME SCHOOLING

Families who choose not to send their students to a public school are responsible for all aspects of the education of their students. However, there are a few requirements families must satisfy in order to home-educate their children. For example, students must be evaluated annually. The District’s Home School Office can assist families who choose this option. Their number is (850) 561-8375.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS

Tallahassee is also served by several private schools, which offer education opportunities from preschool through high school.

Working Toward the Future

HCA Florida Capital Hospital makes good on its promised $42 million investment in care

The name HCA Florida Capital Hospital may be new to the Tallahassee community, but the hospital’s 43-year history of growth and stellar care is anything but. Previously known as Capital Regional Medical Center, HCA Florida Capital Hospital further solidified its long-standing affiliation with health care giant HCA Healthcare with a rebranding effort in the spring of 2022.

“This move really unites all of our sites of care across the state,” said HCA Florida Capital Hospital president Alan Keesee. “As an HCA affiliate, we are the largest provider

of health care in the state of Florida with over 450 sites of care, 50 hospitals and 77,000 caregivers across the state. Our goal is to reassure the community that you are going to get that same excellent level of care here in Tallahassee.”

Unveiling this new name isn’t the only major development coming to HCA Florida Capital Hospital. In 2021, Keesee announced that the hospital would invest more than $42 million in capital projects in the years to come, many of which are already complete or well underway.

In May of 2022, HCA Florida Capital Hospital opened a 20-bed inpatient

rehabilitation center where physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists work to get patients back to a sense of normalcy and independence after a traumatic injury or medical event such as a stroke, amputation or cardiac event.

“We were excited to bring online our new inpatient rehab this past May,” Keesee said. “We have treated over 90 patients so far with exceptionally positive reviews from patients. Inpatient rehab is really about getting folks out of the hospital and helping them get back to normal life through therapy.”

HCA Florida Capital Hospital NICU

The facility is equipped with two large open-air gyms and an apartmentstyle setup where patients can relearn how to carry out everyday tasks like doing the dishes, bathing and getting in and out of bed. So far, this inpatient rehab center has brought 50 new jobs to the community.

Also in May, HCA Florida Capital Hospital introduced its first level-two neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

“While we never want a baby to have to go to the NICU, high-risk deliveries do happen,” Keesee said. “Until now, moms didn’t have a choice of care in Tallahassee when that happened. We have seven babies upstairs today. They are all doing well, our team is providing great care and the parents are able to stay here close to their loved ones in those precious first few days of life.”

This 10-bed unit is staffed by boardcertified neonatologists, board-certified pediatricians and registered nurses who specialize in sick and premature infants, as well as specially trained pharmacists, dietitians, respiratory therapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists on-site.

Adding to these recent additions to HCA Florida Capital Hospital’s care offerings, Keesee said that the hospital is in the process of developing a new, state-of-the-art women’s imaging center that will open its doors this winter. Meanwhile, the hospital will make significant expansions to its surgical suites and advancements in stroke care with new top-tier physicians and cutting-edge technology. By the end of 2022, Keesee said, HCA Florida Capital Hospital will complete two new surgical suites, bringing the hospital to a total of 12 surgery facilities.

“Tallahassee has wonderful medical facilities, whether it’s our hospital, physician practices, surgery centers, imaging centers, a great health plan or the great collaborative medical community as a whole,” Keesee said. “Tallahssee can be

home and provide all of the health care needs for anyone moving to Tallahassee.”

In the midst of nationwide staffing shortages in the medical community, HCA Florida Capital Hospital has committed itself to the future by establishing two robust new residency programs. In 2022, the hospital saw the launch of Tallahassee’s first-ever psychiatric residency program, a move that Keesee hopes will help to address the community’s lack of mental health services long term. HCA Florida Capital Hospital will take on six psychiatry residents each year for the next four

years with the opportunity to expand the program in its fifth year.

Alongside the hospital’s burgeoning psychiatric residency program is a newly minted dermatology residency program which will host two residents annually.

“By 2027, with the additional residency programs we will be bringing online, we will have over 100 residents here supporting the community,” Keesee said. “These folks move here, live here, bring their families, enjoy our restaurants, our clubs and our community. We hope that they will stay and provide care to our community for years to come.”

Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare expands its area of influence

Recently named among the top 25 hospitals in Florida by U.S. News & World Report, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) is the Capital City’s oldest remaining hospital and the only private, not-for-profit health care system in town.

These factors, said president and CEO of TMH Mark O’Bryant, uniquely position TMH to address the needs of its ever-growing service area. Today, TMH serves a 21-county area in North Florida, South Georgia and South Alabama, with a broad list of care options to address acute, long-term and chronic ailments and injuries.

More than 5,500 staff members support TMH’s numerous care facilities including its 772-bed acute care hospital, surgery and adult ICU center, psychiatric hospital, multiple specialty care centers, three residency programs, 38 affiliated physician practices and partnerships.

“We are a community-based organization, a community asset,” O’Bryant said. “We don’t have any shareholders. We are here for the benefit of the community, and everything we do is driven toward making the community a better place to live.”

Throughout its nearly 75 years in operation, TMH has been at the forefront of medical advancement for the region. TMH provided the city’s first ambulance, blood bank, neonatal intensive care unit and stand-alone emergency center. Today, O’Bryant and his team continue to push the envelope by listening to the needs of the community, investing in quality care and training the next generation of skilled health care professionals.

In that spirit, TMH launched a new, larger urology clinic on Centennial Boulevard in August of 2022 to provide more timely care for a wide variety of urological conditions, including cancer.

“Urology is an area where our medical community has expressed interest in having access to new services,” O’Bryant said. “We started with Dr. Charles Yowell years ago, and he became busy very quickly, so we added a second urologist.” O’Bryant said there has since been a third and fourth added, and a fifth and sixth are scheduled to come in 2023.

Alongside its expansion of urology care, TMH has laid out a multi-year plan to drastically increase its capacity for cancer care. The first step in this process, slated for completion at the start of 2023, will

include the addition of 13 exam rooms and additional space for infusion therapy and lab services. This move will directly impact two of TMH’s three existing outpatient oncology clinics; gynecologic oncology; and cancer and hematology.

Roughly 12 years ago, TMH identified a growing need for local providers and set out to create a pipeline through Tallahassee Community College (TCC).

“We partnered with TCC by giving them the land to build a facility on our campus so their nursing students wouldn’t have to drive all across town,” O’Bryant said. “It’s a way for us to not only bring students to our campus, but it has also allowed us to expand. TCC has expanded their nursing program significantly, even recently. That helps all of us.”

Now, TMH is taking that success and translating it into the hospital’s longstanding relationship with Florida State University (FSU). In June of 2020, TMH

MEDICAL Overview

announced plans to develop a new academic medical center that will create greater instructional opportunities for medical school residents working with TMH and serve as Tallahassee’s newest hub of medical research. The project will be funded by a $125 million investment from the state of Florida.

“This will be a true change agent,” O’Bryant said. “We don’t have that level of research activity in this region. It will be a good thing not only for the medical community, but a great economic engine for our region.”

TMH’s continued growth is quickly positioning the hospital as the primary medical hub in the region. The hospital recently acquired a campusbased emergency helicopter through a partnership with Survival Flight, a move that O’Bryant said will allow TMH to better serve its adjacent, more rural communities in the most critical moments after a medical emergency.

Announced in early 2022, TMH is partnering with FSU and The St. Joe Company to develop a 100-bed hospital in Panama City Beach to serve the residents of Latitude Watersound, a recently developed community geared toward people aged 55 and older. This partnership bore its first fruit in September of 2022 with the opening of TMH Physician Partners — Primary Care in Panama City Beach. The hospital is projected to open in the coming years. Even as THM looks to increase services to its outlying communities, O’Bryant said the hospital is also looking at ways to

improve affordable access to care close to home. Planning is currently in the works to build two new urgent care centers, one in the area of Frenchtown and one in Crawfordville.

“A lot of people use emergency rooms as their entry point to health care even though, quite frankly, the services they require are not what we would consider urgent,” O’Bryant said. “ERs are very busy, very expensive places to receive care. We are trying to create access points that allow people to receive more immediate care at a much lower cost point.”

Must-See PARKS

The people of Tallahassee and Leon County love their parks — from open green spaces where people gather for special occasions to forests etched with sun-dappled trails. There are scores of places, urban and rural, for getting outdoors. Here are just a few.

A.J. HENRY PARK This 72-acre gem amid Killearn’s seven northeast neighborhoods offers a playground, four picnic shelters, a large picnic pavilion, a boardwalk, trails and plenty of shade. It can be accessed from Gardenview Way or Whitney Drive East.

CASCADES PARK This is the crown jewel of Tallahassee’s urban parks. Cascades is a green, spacious gathering place for pedestrians, picnickers, festivalgoers and concert fans. At the center of its rolling hills and water features is the Capital City Amphitheatre, hosting national and local bands. The park, just blocks from the Capitol, also includes a lake, monuments, a splash pad, fountains, a playground, shaded coves, multi-use trails and the Smokey Hollow Commemorative Site.

ELINOR KLAPP-PHIPPS PARK Located on the east side of Lake Jackson at 4000 N. Meridian Road, this wild, 670-acre tract is one of the largest outdoor recreation sites in Tallahassee, with room for hiking, biking and horseback riding. It also is the site of the annual Red Hills Horse Trials.

FRED GEORGE GREENWAY AND PARK In northwest Leon County are 170 acres of woodlands, knee-high grass patches, waterways and trails. Ten open acres are dedicated to multipurpose fields for Pop Warner football, regulation baseball, soccer, tennis, disc golf and a dog park.

GOVERNOR’S PARK Hidden in plain sight, Governor’s Park is off Blair Stone Road between Mahan Drive and East Park Avenue. Its gently sloping fields, scattered trees and woodsy trails make it ideal for tossing Frisbees and balls to friends or pets.

JACK MCLEAN JR. PARK, CENTER & POOL There are 52 acres of fun at Jack McLean Park, at 700 Paul Russell Road. The park features a swimming pool, picnic shelters, a playground, courts for basketball, tennis and volleyball, horseshoe pits and a 24-hole disc golf course.

LAFAYETTE HERITAGE TRAIL PARK This once continuous wet prairie was parsed by a dam into three sections: Upper Lafayette, Piney Z Lake and Lower Lafayette. It is a wonderful place to fish, bike, run, walk and paddle. The park entrance is at the east end of Heritage Park Boulevard in the Piney Z Plantation subdivision.

PARK AVENUE CHAIN OF PARKS The Chain of Parks is actually a series of seven small urban parks in Tallahassee’s historic Park Avenue district. An April art festival and weekly arts and crafts and food market are held here. It’s a great place to be in the spring, when the rose bushes and azaleas are in bloom.

SAN LUIS MISSION PARK Adjacent to the 17th-century museum Mission San Luis, the park features covered picnic pavilions, lots of shade trees, trails around Lake Esther and a playground. Feel free to walk your pooch here.

TOM BROWN PARK Located east of Capital Circle Southeast between Mahan Drive and Apalachee Parkway, Tom Brown Park is one of Tallahassee’s favorite outdoor playgrounds and hosts the annual Fourth of July fireworks show. It has fields for softball, baseball and soccer as well as a disc golf course, a dog park, tennis courts and lots of other open spaces.

Music Capital in the

PHOTO BY DAVE BARFIELD / VISIT TALLAHASSEE

Light streams from Doak S. Campbell stadium, and thousands of voices erupt in the night, not in football cheers and chants, but in song. In a converted feed store, honky-tonk tunes reverberate off exposed-brick walls, and boots stomp hardwood floors. Under a starlit sky in Cascades Park, couples sit close on blankets as they listen to the smooth rock of Train. Beer glasses clink in a bar on Gaines Street as college students sing along to Top 40 covers and Eagles tunes played by an acoustic duo. The next morning, mimosas and eggs Benedict are enjoyed in the presence of a folk-music trio.

“Tallahassee’s music scene has exploded in the past few years,” said Kim Morton, representing the concert venue/sports arena at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. “Tallahassee, itself, has grown immensely over the past five years, which has brought a new generation to this city. We’re in a location that is a desirable stop for touring artists.”

Notes are bumping from all quadrants of Tallahassee.

CASCADING SCALES

At Cascades Park, the crown jewel of the city’s urban parks, college students throw Frisbees on the green space, families picnic by the lake, joggers run by with their dogs and, on sunny days, children frolic on the splash pad. At the heart of the downtown park is the Capital City Amphitheater, a beautiful stage framed in a half dome of white.

The amphitheater draws people together for free concerts, ticketed concerts and theatrical performances. Musical acts have included Train, Alabama Shakes, The Avett Brothers, Wilco, Jason Isbell, The Beach Boys, Tank, Dawes, Lisa Loeb, Joan Osborne, Boz Scaggs and Peter Frampton. Cascades Park hosts premier events such as the Word of South Festival of Literature & Music and the Southern Shakespeare Festival, which employs a live orchestra. The amphitheater, with 3,500 fixed seats, and the surrounding, blanket-friendly hillside, fills frequently with fans of music, literature and theater. The air is fresh, the crowd is friendly and there is plenty at hand to eat and drink. Learn more at CapitalCityAmphitheater.com.

DOAK AFTER DARK

Doak S. Campbell Stadium, home stadium of the FSU Seminoles, went without a concert for over 30 years. Now, with the addition of one of the best jumbotrons in the country, it has become a concert destination.

Recent years have welcomed in SaltN-Pepa, Vanilla Ice, Rob Base and Cole Swindell. Previous names on stage at Doak include Old Dominion, Tyler Farr, Blake Shelton, Jake Owen and Big & Rich. Stay tuned for future concert announcements.

UP THE ROAD

Between the stadium and downtown is the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center, hosting FSU men’s and women’s basketball and stellar concert performances. The Civic Center has welcomed the likes of Elton John, Drake, Eric Church, Carrie Underwood, Jimmy Buffett,

Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Usher, George Straight, Corey Smith, Earth, Wind & Fire, Alabama, Bon Jovi, Keith Urban and Def Leppard. TuckerCivicCenter.com

Another concert icon is The Moon, Tallahassee’s dance central, which has featured headliners such as Bassnectar, George Clinton, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Hall & Oates, The Tempations, Bonnie Raitt, George Strait, Willie Nelson, The Judds, B.B. King, Kenny Chesney, Joe Cocker, Pat Benatar, Billy Preston, Chris Tucker and many more. MoonEvents.com

National celebrities and stars of the music realm will always attract a crowd and create revenue, but those idols started somewhere — in hometown bars, at county fairs, in writers’ rounds or opening for touring acts. Likewise, Tallahassee nurtures its own fellowship of soon-to-be-famous local musicians. Read on to learn where to hear them now.

IN EVERY DISTRICT

On the Southside, it’s easy to mistake House of Music Tallahassee for a feed store, because that’s exactly what it is — or what it was.

“We have taken an 80-year-old feed store and converted it,” explained Russ Pangratz, who opened House of Music as The Junction at Monroe back in 2014. “It was originally a rehearsal space for me and my band and other bands, but the acoustics were too good to not do something more with the place.”

Pangratz explained he has always “had a heart for musicians.” He began the Tallahassee Area Musicians Guild with fellow board members Barrence Dupree, Russ Hamby and Margie Bertram. The Guild works as a hub for resources and music advocacy, providing a community for local professionals and aspiring amateurs to encourage, teach, learn and share with one another.

Mainstage bands come from Atlanta, Nashville, New York City … and House of Music boasts itself as a karaoke bar. Pangratz kept the building as original as possible, with exposed brick and concrete floors softened

with worn Oriental rugs. Once offering simplicity with fridges full of sodas, craft beer and wine, House of Music now offers a full-service bar and restaurant. Stickers from bands have become ingrained in the bar, and an impressive collection of CDs and hot sauces are for sale in the lobby. It’s a full experience. HouseOfMusicTally.com

One of the best hidden party spots in Leon County, the Fish Camp at Lake Iamonia brings together a relaxing lakeside vibe, food trucks, live music and good seafood and burgers. Located north of Bradfordville, the Fish Camp has been around since 1951 and has been painstakingly improved to keep its original look and feel. The camp is a great place to catch a sunset and is biker friendly, family friendly and pet friendly. So come early and stay late at one of the area’s hidden hangout spots. FishCampRestaurant.com

North of the city is its oldest music venue, the Bradfordville Blues Club. The BBC has been Florida’s home to authentic blues acts since the segregated years of the Chitlin’ Circuit, a string of venues across the Southeast where Black musicians and mixed-race audiences who weren’t welcome in white venues could make music and dance together all night long.

Appearances at the rustic, cinderblock juke joint have included such kings and queens of the blues as Bobby Blue Bland, Bobby Rush, Jimmy Rogers, Duke Robillard, Kenny Neal and Big Daddy Kinsey and the Kinsey Report, Johnnie Marshall and a host of others. BradfordvilleBlues.com

Within walking distance of Lafayette and Levy parks near Midtown sits the Blue Tavern. Opened in 2016, this hidden gem plays several different notes as coffee house, pub and music venue — including a modest menu with New Orleans-style fare and sandwiches.

This laid-back locale also plays host to a bevy of local musicians and performers, ranging from jazz and blues to comedy and film screenings.

BlueTavernTallahassee.com

MUSIC MAKES THE WORLD AND TALLAHASSEE GO ’ROUND

Bill Wharton, affectionately titled The Sauce Boss, has played the BBC and nearly every club in the Southeast since the late ’60s. His rowdy blues shows and on-stage gumbo-making are his trademarks

With other accomplished locals, such as Pierce Pettis, Del Suggs, and Eric Durrance, The Sauce Boss has seen Tallahassee change and evolve. Like the others, he always returns.

“Tallahassee has always been a retreat for me,” said Wharton. “The kind of place where you can write and explore a creative performance. A great town for an artist. I’ve seen a lot of creative spirit here. It feels good jamming with the young’uns as well as old friends, and welcoming new faces and new venues. It makes for a hoppin’ scene. We keep growing and creating.”

Music grows within us, and because it does, it creates emotions. It transports us to a time with someone we love, a loss or even just a fall day when the sun shone a little brighter than usual. Music enhances

our intelligence, as seen in the test scores and creative abilities of those who study it. It soothes those in need of a smile, and it heals. Take, for instance, stroke victims whose voices have been taken, but who suddenly and unexplainably find their words, thanks to music.

Music is meant to be heard, yes, but also to be felt. When the stage lights have dimmed, the equipment has been cleared and the musicians are on their way home or heading to the next show, they hope they’ve struck a chord that will resonate long after the last note is played.
