WELCOME TO TALLAHASSEE 2016-17 TALLAHASSEE NEWCOMER GUIDE

Greetings and Welcome to Tallahassee! On behalf of our entire City, please allow me to welcome you to your new home! Tallahassee is a wonderful place to live because there’s something here for everyone. Whether you’re exploring our beautiful natural resources, like our rivers, forests or canopy roads; enjoying our thriving cultural scene by visiting art galleries, catching a concert at our brand new Capital City Amphitheater, or eating at one of our delicious restaurants; enhancing your skill set and opportunities at one of our fine institutions of higher learning; or starting a small business and engaging with our emerging innovation and entrepreneurial economy, you will find something for you here. Our City is one of the best places in the country to raise a family, and we like to think that the atmosphere of friendliness and community togetherness that pervades Tallahassee is second to none. We are so happy to have you here in our growing city with a small-town feel; once again let me say: Welcome! Sincerely,

Andrew D. Gillum Mayor, City of Tallahassee

PHOTOS COURTESY GILLUM AND LINDLEY

So, you have chosen to make Leon County your new home: We’re awfully glad you’re here. And I am certain that in years to come you’ll consider this one of the happiest decisions you’ve ever made. Tallahassee is the capital of the third largest state. But the friendliness you’ll find around almost any corner will convince you that the charm and distinctively diverse culture that has made Southern life a timeless literary theme is also a day-to-day reality here. As home to two major universities, a large community college and one of the state’s best public school systems, you won’t find people who are shy about confronting conflicts head on. That the city is youthful and well-educated contributes to an ongoing drive to stimulate our economic, cultural, heritage and recreational opportunities in ways that are progressive and sometimes transformative. Whether you are here for the first time, a short time or a lifetime, I hope you’ll start exploring and get involved. It’s always been the people that are the heart of this town. Sincerely,

Mary Ann Lindley Chairman Leon County Board of County Commissioners

WELCOME TO TALLAHASSEE TALLAHASSEE

TALLAHASSEE 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. • Tallahassee’s population was 148,400 in 2000. It was 181,396 in 2010 and is estimated to be 191,500 in 2020. • Tallahassee is the seventh largest city in the state. Nationwide, Census Bureau estimates put Tallahassee as the nation’s 126th largest city — between Huntsville, Alabama and Grand Prairie, Texas. • 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. •F lorida’s Prime Meridian — the marker from which all surveying in the state is based — is located about a quartermile away from the Capitol building in Cascades Park in a plaza behind the Capital City Amphitheater. •T allahassee was the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi River that did not fall to the Union army. •T allahassee is the only municipality in Leon County, and about 64 percent

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 Tallahassee/Leon County is within Florida’s 2nd congressional district, represented by Democrat Gwen Graham. • Historians suspected that Hernando de Soto wintered in Tallahassee in 1539 during his explorations, but it wasn’t until 1987 that a state archaeologist, the late B. Calvin Jones, pinpointed and excavated the site. Just 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 many 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 seven times in the past 120 years. The most snow, 2.8 inches, fell in February 1958, and the last time it snowed was in December 1989, when 1 inch fell.

WELCOME TO TALLAHASSEE

STATE OF FLORIDA

LEON COUNTY

CITY OF TALLAHASSEE

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. House and Senate district lines were redrawn before the 2012 elections to reflect changes in population from the 2010 census.

Leon County is guided by an elected, sevenmember 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.

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.

THE INSIDE SKINNY ON YOUR

NEW HOMETOWN BY ROSANNE DUNKELBERGER

allahassee forges bonds with people. When I moved with my husband to Florida’s capital city, neither of us were sure how long we would stay. Both of us work in an industry which has proved, shall we say, fluid. We’d be short-timers, we thought, and move on. Thirty-three years later, we are unabashed Tallahasseans.

WELCOME TO TALLAHASSEE

PHOTOS BY LARRY DAVIDSON

My children were born here. My dearest friends live here. I’ve built a career here. Now, Tallahassee is my home. You’ve probably heard all the Chamber of Commerce commentary. And those canopy roads truly are a treasure. But read on, because I’m going to tell it like it really is: People here are really nice. They’ll always say “hi” when they pass you on the sidewalk. Cashiers usually smile and make eye contact. Chances are someone will let you in if you’re trying to merge into traffic. We gripe about it, but Tallahasseeans don’t understand truly bad traffic. We get a little worked up if we have to wait more than two or three red-light cycles to get through an intersection. There is no rush hour — it’s more like 15 or 20 minutes. You might want to buy a GPS, or at least a good map. I never could figure out how it’s possible to leave my house, go in any one of three directions, and somehow still manage to get to the airport. Speaking of airports … it’s true, it’s not easy to get from here to there in the air from Tallahassee. Unless you’re going to Atlanta or Charlotte, North Carolina, chances are very good you’re going to be changing planes somewhere. And it’s always more expensive than the big-city airports. But the Tallahassee International Airport is clean and uncrowded, there’s usually plenty of parking and the check-in lines are a breeze. And there’s a really nice art gallery inside. Never say anything bad about anybody to anybody because, sure as shootin’, you’re probably talking to their cousin. This is definitely a “one-degree-of-separation” kind of town. We have a decent selection of national stores and restaurants, but there’s still room for an Apple Store and The Cheesecake Factory.

Tallahassee has a booming college culture, but if you don’t live close to the campuses, you’ll hardly know students are here. The good news is the universities and community college also offer an unparalleled opportunity to be exposed to educational and cultural activities usually not found in cities this size. And thanks to all that higher education in our backyard, lots of really smart people live here. Tallahassee’s biggest employers are the state government and higher education, so we’re not really poised for explosive growth. The booms don’t happen here, but neither do the busts. It all evens out. Leon County only has one municipality and that’s Tallahassee, which owns the city utilities. For those who get city gas and electric, there are some pretty spectacular rebates offered for switching to natural gas, upgrading to more energy-efficient appliances and weatherizing your home. We’re a pretty traditional bunch. Trends don’t make it here until they’ve been around for a year or two. But by then, all the crazy fads have faded away and you can buy clothes or decorate the house knowing both will have some staying power. If you like sports — as a participant or as a spectator — you’re in luck. There are sports programs galore for children and adults. And even if you’re a transplanted Gator like me, you have to experience at least one Seminole home football game. And a Florida A&M University homecoming parade.

True, we’re not on the coast, but you’re not exactly in Kansas, either. In Tallahassee, you’re about a two-hour drive away from some of the best beaches in the world. 2016–17 Tallahassee Newcomer

VEHICLE & 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 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. However, if you are 17 or if you have a valid driver’s license before your 17th birthday, you may pre-register to vote. 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 precinctspecific ballot. Florida voter applications are available at the Supervisor of Elections’ office in the Bank of America building, just behind the Leon County Courthouse, at 315 S. Calhoun Street, Suite #110. 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’s website. Want to know if you are registered to vote in Leon County? You can visit the website and with a few keystrokes, know your voter registration status. The website offers complete information about upcoming elections, precincts, elected officials and more. Or, call (850) 606-VOTE (8683) for more information.

MOTOR VEHICLES AND LICENSES

Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and Leon County Tax Collector’s Offices

DRIVER’S LICENSE Your first step to obtaining a Florida vehicle registration is obtaining a Florida driver’s license. Out-ofstate drivers are required to obtain a Florida driver’s license within 30 days of residency. A new resident is exempt from taking a road test if they can provide an unexpired driver’s license from another state. To apply for a license, drivers must provide a form or identification such as a birth certificate (your out-of-state driver’s license cannot be used), proof of your Social Security number and two documents proving your current residential address, such as a recent utility bill, mail from a financial institution or a mortgage statement. You will also pay a processing fee. A change of address for in-state drivers must be submitted to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles within

10 days of a move. Address changes for drivers moving from within the state only may be made at express.hsmv.state.fl.us. VEHICLE REGISTRATION Once you have your Florida driver’s license, you will also need to obtain car insurance from a Florida insurance agent before you can register your vehicle. Bring proof of Florida insurance, your Florida driver’s license and your original out-of-state title to a local Florida county tax collector’s office. If you are still making loan payments on your car, and your out-of-state title is under the possession of a lienholder, the tax collector’s office will assist you in contacting the lienholder to obtain the title. In addition, vehicle identification number verification is required for all used motor vehicles titled in Florida. Registering goes hand in hand with the titling process. In the state of Florida, motor vehicles are required by law to be registered and titled within 10 days of the owner becoming employed, placing children in public school or establishing residency. Florida license plates are valid until midnight of the owner’s birthday. License plate renewals are accepted 90 days prior to the owner’s birth month. In-state registration fees are assessed according to the weight of the motor vehicle. Out-of-state drivers must pay an initial registration fee, a fee for the registration of a new metal license plate and a transfer fee, if needed. For more information, call (850) 617-2000. Fortunately, obtaining your Florida driver’s license, vehicle registration, title, tags and new license plate can all be done at once at any of the Tax Collector’s offices listed in the ad on page 8. These locations accept cash, check and all major credit and debit cards. 2016–17 Tallahassee Newcomer

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 pre-registration, 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-toschool 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) 487-7804. PRIVATE SCHOOLS Tallahassee is also served by several private schools, which offer education opportunities from preschool through high school.

THE LEROY COLLINS LEON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM consists of a main library in downtown Tallahassee as well as six branches and a traveling bookmobile. Leon County residents are eligible to apply for a free library card (children under 18 must have a parent or guardian co-signer). The library offers patrons a plethora of services, and many — including requesting and renewing books — are available online. Libraries are located at Tallahassee’s three institutions of higher learning — Florida A&M University, Florida State University and Tallahassee Community College. In addition, the State Library of Florida is located in downtown Tallahassee. It is open to the public and offers an extensive Florida Collection as well as many online resources at http://dlis.dos.state.fl.us/library.

WANTED: HOMEGROWN DOCTORS FSU’s College of Medicine is Reshaping Health Care by Recruiting Rural Doctors, Creating Residencies and Expanding Opportunities By Jason Dehart

Florida ranks 43rd in the number of available residency slots.

55% of FSU Medical School alumni in practice are caring for patients in Florida.

BACK IN THE OLD DAYS, the town doctor was an aging sage who practiced out of his home and treated everything under the sun. He knew everything about everyone in town, as well as those living on the nearby farms and homesteads. He could deliver babies, pull teeth and set broken bones. Sometimes he had an idealistic young apprentice tagging along, soaking up his wisdom, learning the trade and building relationships with the people who would come to count on him when the boss retired. Times may change, but you always return to the classics. As health care changes and the need for doctors increases, Florida State University’s College of Medicine is hoping to provide the small towns of North Florida with modern versions of the classic town doctor. The first medical school in the United States to be established in 20 years when it was created by state legislation in 2000, FSU’s College of Medicine graduated its first class in 2005. Since then, the alumni ranks have swelled to 910. Of that number, 294 have completed their graduate medical work and have entered practice, while 65 percent of alums are still in residency or fellowship programs. The college’s official mission statement is clearly defined. It says, “The Florida State University College of Medicine will educate and develop exemplary physicians who practice patient-centered health care, discover and advance knowledge, and are responsive to community needs, especially through service to elder, rural, minority and underserved populations.” Medical school dean Dr. John P. Fogarty talks about that with a touch of pride. It aptly states the case that there is a real need for the college. “It’s been described as the most focused mission statement for a medical school,” he said. “I think

Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 2016–17

that was on purpose. We didn’t believe that North Florida had enough physicians, and we needed to create the ones they needed. We’ve been holding to that mission. That’s the good news.” Training new doctors is one thing, but it’s been an uphill battle to keep them in the third-largest state in the nation. Despite a population nearing 20 million, Florida ranks 43rd in the number of available residency slots. Many fledgling doctors go out of state for post-graduate training. Some of them come back home, but Fogarty thinks more could be enticed to stay here. Fogarty noted in the med school’s 2014 annual report that 55 percent of alumni in practice are caring for patients in Florida. “The percentage could be much greater if there were more opportunities to retain graduating students in Florida for residency training,” he wrote. “For the last three years, anywhere from twothirds to 70 percent have left Florida to go out of state for residencies,” Fogarty said recently. “The good news is they are in spectacular programs throughout the country, many of the best hospitals in the country. Which makes us feel really good about the students we produce. The better news is most of them are returning.” The med school pins its hopes on a “communitybased” approach. In the past, at least 75 percent of medical teaching for third- and fourth-year students happened in hospital-based settings. Times have changed, though, and hospital stays are much shorter. For the med student, this means a small window of learning opportunities. Time to turn the conventional model around. In FSU’s model, 75 percent of training takes place in a mentoring doctor’s office, Fogarty said. This enables the future physicians to build long-term relationships with doctors, patients and the community they train in.

FSU COLLEGE OF MEDICINE/RAY STANYARD

“Our philosophy is train where the patients are. They’re getting a much more real view of cases that present commonly in the offices,” he said. But while you have a “captive” audience when it comes to med students still in college, once they graduate, it’s very possible — as previously noted — that grad students will seek residency programs out of state. Dr. Tanya Evers, 37, a Brandon native and 2008 alum, is among the FSU med-school grads who traveled out

of state for her graduate education. In her case, she did her residency in obstetrics/gynecology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee. But a deep Florida connection called her back, and she’s currently a physician and faculty member at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare’s Family Medicine Residency Program. “My husband and I are both from the Tampa area and wanted to return to Florida to be closer to family,” Evers said. “Having lived and worked in Tallahassee previously, we were comfortable here and felt it was

The Florida State University College of Medicine and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare opened a new Internal Medicine Residency Program in 2012.

a nice place to raise a family. I believe that having a medical school closer to ‘home’ for many people who grew up in the Panhandle of Florida will keep them here to practice. I also know that there will be some who come to Tallahassee and love it, want more of the same and therefore will settle down in the area. I also suspect that the patients being cared for by these homegrown providers will be able to connect with them on a more meaningful level.” In fact, as part of its mission statement, FSU actively recruits med-school students from small towns and underserved communities in hopes they will want to practice medicine in these rural areas. Sometimes, though, they don’t need a lot of encouragement. In those cases, it fits a future doctor’s personal desire. For example, Dr. Robin Albritton, 37, is a family doctor who grew up in Marianna, went to med school at FSU, conducted his residency at TMH and fulfilled his dream of coming back to Jackson County to practice. For him, the idea of having more doctors in more rural areas hits close to home. Most residency programs are held in urban areas because you need a high volume of patients to be able to train new doctors. That’s all well and good, but the way he sees it, places like Orlando really don’t need any more primary care doctors. “We need them more out here,” he said. “And quite frankly, it’s not just primary care doctors. I’d rather we put a new general surgeon in rural Marianna than another family doctor in Orlando. And so really what we have to work toward as FSU continues to expand its graduate medical education is look for opportunities to develop rural residency tracks.” As it turns out, Marianna is becoming a popular place for FSU’s med-school students to put in clinic hours, Albritton said.

Physicians & Medical Resource Guide 2016–17

“We here in Marianna actually have four third-year medical students every year from FSU that spend their entire third year of medical school here,” he said. “And … all of us that practice here teach those students.” This small-town experience is also making some students change their mind and their career goals. “There are three or four people … currently doing their residencies in primary care who never considered primary care and had never considered the possibility of practicing in a rural area, and now their goal is to do such because of their experience here,” Albritton said. “So, really looking forward in the future, that’s what I think we need to have a focus on. We need to continue to expand graduate medical education and also try to get more rural tracks associated with some of these residency programs that are based in urban areas.” But FSU’s med school is stirring things up in Florida. Founded at a time when there was general resistance to creating new medical schools, it wasn’t until after the state bit the bullet that suddenly the need was realized. “There was actually a projection at the time that there was a surplus of doctors and that there was no reason to create a new medical school,” Albritton said. “And certainly, not long after FSU was founded, they really revised that and said, ‘Oh boy, we’re in trouble, we’re going to need more doctors,’ and therefore you saw other medical schools pop up in the state of Florida. But what you didn’t see was a lot of new residencies pop up. And that is where the boat is being missed.” Fortunately, FSU is taking the lead in that regard by establishing new programs across the state. The college works with more than 90 health care systems and 2,500 physicians to provide clinical training in five residency programs: pediatrics and obstetrics/ gynecology at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola; internal medicine at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital; family medicine at Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, and a general surgery residency at TMH — which is currently waiting on the green light from the accreditation process. The college is also sponsoring an internal medicine residency program at Sarasota Memorial Hospital and one in dermatology at Dermatology Associates in Tallahassee, which already has a dermatology fellowship. “That is the answer to keeping more people,” Albritton said. “I will tell you that only about 10 to 15 percent of my graduating class stayed in the state of Florida. The rest of them all left. And many of those have never come back. I believe we had 59 in that class. But that’s the realization of it, if there are (not enough) residency programs in … Florida, people are going to have to go outside the state to get their graduate education. Unless they have strong family ties, they’re not going to come back.” n

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery WHO?

Patients suffering from brain aneurysms, acute strokes, arteriovenous malformations of the brain and spine, arteriovenous fistula, carotid disease, intracranial stenosis, and carotid and vertebral artery dissection are candidates for endovascular neurological surgery.

WHAT? COURTESY TALLAHASSEE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

Neurovascular surgery utilizes catheters to perform procedures in the brain through arteries in the groin — eliminating the need to open the skull.

CUTTING EDGE — WITHOUT THE BLADE TMH Offers Neurovascular, Minimally Invasive Surgery for Patients Throughout the Region

» TMH has a dedicated

neurological and neurosurgery floor with 26 neurology/neurosurgery beds, SIX neuro intermediate care beds and 10 neuro intensive care beds — a total of 42 beds.

» There are 105 employees

By Chay D. Baxley FOR NEARLY 700 PEOPLE across the region, brain surgery — without scalp cutting and skull sawing — has become a reality at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. A reality, and a blessing. “Basically what we do in the (catheterization) lab is called endovascular neurosurgery,” said Dr. Matthew Lawson. “What that allows us to do is to treat blood-vessel disorders of the head and neck through minimally invasive means.” A neurosurgeon specializing in cerebrovascular surgery and endovascular neurosurgery, Lawson arrived at TMH in 2012 to launch the hospital’s new endovascular program. Since then, he and Dr. T. Adam Oliver, a fellow neurosurgeon and a Tallahassee native, have built the program from the ground up.

QUICK FACTS

Together in the catheterization laboratory (affectionately dubbed the “cath lab”), Lawson and Oliver treat patients suffering from a variety of neurological ailments, including brain aneurysms, acute strokes and arteriovenous malformations of the brain and spine. “Many of those diseases, like acute stroke, don’t have any open surgical procedures as a treatment option,” Lawson continued. “All of these endovascular procedures that we do, we’re going from inside the blood vessel. We usually go in through a blood vessel in the leg called the femoral artery. We navigate the catheter all the way up to the head using X-ray guidance from inside the blood vessels. Then we can repair them or do whatever treatment we’re doing.

(physicians, nurses, catheterization lab techs, etc.) working on this floor.

» Of those 105 employees,

19 belong specifically to the neuro catheterization lab — two physicians, 10 lab technicians and SEVEN RNs.

» In 2012, TMH spent $3.1

million on the endovascular neurosurgery equipment to kickstart the program.

2016–17 Physicians & Medical Resource Guide

MEDICAL OVERVIEW

“Much the same way a cardiologist would do a heart catheterization — we’re basically doing a brain catheterization.” Before 2012, Northwest Florida patients and their families were traveling to major metropolitan areas such as Tampa, Orlando and Gainesville for these lifesaving treatments. According to Oliver, allowing patients to be treated and recover closer to home is a win for everyone — especially loved ones. “It’s not just a hometown pride thing,” Oliver said. “It’s a realization that when you have a person with a sickness, with a vascular lesion, it’s not going to be in and out of the hospital. With a ruptured aneurysm, even if you look good neurologically, you’re sitting with us for two weeks. Minimum. And often longer.” Since these procedures generally require only a local anesthetic, patients are wide awake while in the cath lab. Once the surgery has been successfully completed, they are kept for an extended period of observation.

That’s where Nancy Anne Teems, the nurse manager for neurology, neurosurgery and neurovascular at TMH, along with her team of seven registered nurses who are dedicated full time to neurovascular cath lab patients, come in. “We’re looking for any of the slightest neurological changes,” Teems said. That also means monitoring patients’ hemodynamics and liquid outputs. According to Teems, rehabilitation can look different depending on the patient. The major factor for a speedy recovery? Early detection. While it’s a boon for Tallahassee, the neuro cath lab services patients from three states. “We’re drawing patients from as far as Dothan and Pensacola, up into Cairo, Georgia, all the way over to Valdosta,” Oliver continued. “So for this segment of North Florida, South Georgia and South Alabama, we’re it. And we’re very proud of that.” n

Dr. Scott Tetreault’s Florida Cancer Specialists encourages cancer patients to consider drug trials that could be available to them. Sherry Hall’s (far left) quality of life improved greatly after she started taking a “miracle pill” to treat her advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

IN SEPTEMBER 2013, Sherry Hall’s oncologist told her there was cancer in her bone marrow. Her official diagnosis was stage IV follicular lymphoma, better known by the name non-Hodgkin lymphoma, for which there is no cure. (It is the cancer that killed Jackie Kennedy in 1994.) That night, she took to her blog. “I know that God is going to Heal my Body,” wrote the Crawfordville resident. “I know this body might suffer but there is a Miracle in the Making.” Her miracle was a long time coming: Two years of chemotherapy, a blood clot and countless side effects from the drugs, the steroids and the cancer took a

toll on Hall’s body and her mind. Eventually, she had two options: try another round of intravenous chemotherapy, or take chemotherapy pills. Her doctor felt the pills would not improve her condition, and Hall did not want to try the intravenous method again. “I had already gone that route with no results and no better quality of life,” said Hall, who turns 58 in September. “I was literally at the point of death and dreading the thought that I would have to do another round of chemo — I was actually praying for death. I had problems breathing and was so weak that walking any distance was becoming an issue.” After switching oncologists in late 2014, Hall found out about a third option available in Tallahassee: a pill in the second phase of clinical trials whose creators were looking for test subjects. Though Hall had been much longer without treatment than the clinicians running the study would have preferred in a subject, they added her to the list of patients in the trial.

For the first time in a long time, Hall thought her treatment options might be too good to be true. “I was excited and at the same time thinking, ‘This can’t be that easy,’” she said. “It’s not an easy thing to know that you are going to be poked and filled with chemicals that could destroy major organs and leave you feeling weak and actually lifeless … so this ‘miracle pill,’ as I’ve come to call it, was an answer to prayer.” Many cancer patients currently in treatment may not know that drugs in clinical trial are available to them. Dr. Scott Tetreault of Florida Cancer Specialists in Tallahassee says this is a major issue. “The bottom line is, in this country, way too few cancer patients go on clinical trials,” Tetreault said. He offers some advice to patients who have been diagnosed with cancer: “What you really need is a good medical oncologist who has access to clinical

trials so you know whether traditional or trial methods are your best option. You should consider it when your doctor says this might be a good option for you.” There are, of course, some risks inherent in becoming a part of a clinical trial — trial, after all, is just another word for experiment. “I’m a big proponent of clinical trials, but I do tell other doctors all the time that they are not for everybody,” Tetreault said. “Unlike an FDA-approved drug, a clinical trial drug has not been proven to be safe and effective. You can’t sugarcoat that fact. But if clinical trials are suggested by your physician, you should strongly consider it.” In a time when medical insurance and affordable care are sensitive subjects, there’s some good news to be had about drugs in trial: Experimental drugs are, in general, free to their test subjects. “Speaking frankly, it costs an insurance company less money for a patient to be on an

experimental drug than for a patient to be in traditional treatment, because the company doesn’t have to pay for the drug,” Tetreault explained. “For this reason, we get less pushback from insurance companies than you would expect.” In fact, Medicare has been all but pushing for its users to get on experimental treatments for exactly this reason. The ethics behind this move may be questionable, but the patient benefits are there. Since the pill is still in trial, neither Hall nor Dr. Tetreault was able to divulge the name of the drug Hall is using. However, Tetreault was able to explain what it does. “It is a drug that works unlike any other,” he said. “It’s a pill, first of all, it’s not chemo, so it doesn’t make you sick, doesn’t make your hair fall out … I don’t think there are any side effects, other than good ones. It is a pill that goes to the cancer cells and very simply turns them off. They use a particular pathway to grow called PI3K. The pill blocks those pathways, putting the cancer cells to sleep. It dies off on its own.” Such revolutionary cancer-fighting tactics are only a portion of the innovations to come. “Without getting too philosophical, there is one huge treatment wave that is going to change everything and is changing everything right now: immunotherapy,” Tetreault said. “What immunotherapies do is take the brakes off the immune system and the cloaking device off the cancer. That way the immune system can ‘see’ the cancer and attack it itself. Five of the largest drug companies either have such drugs approved for clinical trial or in the late stages of gaining approval.” “I know that medication affects everyone differently, but if you have cancer and you’re given the chance to try this pill, don’t hesitate for one moment,” Hall said of her own “miracle pill.” “I have had no side effects,” she continued. “It took me about eight weeks to tell a really significant difference in my health. I am not cancer-free, but my lymph nodes have shrunk dramatically … I have been taking the miracle pill for six months now, and my energy level is amazing. I feel like my old self again. I am not sluggish, and I’m more active.” She credits her family and her faith with the strength and timing that has helped her survive: “I owe it all to Jesus Christ, who led me to this clinic and to the right doctor.” n

THINGS TO DO

10 MUST-SEE PARKS T 1

allahassee is home to almost 90 parks — everything from multi-use facilities encompassing hundreds of acres to tiny neighborhood “pocket parks,” boasting little more than a bench and a creek. There isn’t room to list them all, but here are 10 parks offering a plethora of playtime possibilities.

A.J. HENRY PARK NAMED in memory of property owner Dr. Joe Henry, this 72-acre gem is located amidst Killearn’s seven northeast neighborhoods and offers a playground, four picnic shelters, a large picnic pavilion and plenty of shady space for walking and observing nature. A.J. Henry Park Drive can be accessed from either Gardenview Way or Whitney Drive East. CASCADES PARK After years on the drawing board, the new Cascades Park, located at 1001 S. Gadsden St., is quickly becoming Tallahassee’s social center. A twin-use stormwater facility/community gathering place, this downtown venue is home to the Capital City Amphitheatre, an interactive water fountain, playground and miles of multi-use trails. ELINOR KLAPP-PHIPPS PARK Located on the east side of Lake Jackson at 4000 N. Meridian Road, this wild, 670-acre tract is perhaps the largest outdoor recreation spot in Tallahassee, with room for hiking, biking and horseback riding. It’s also the site of the exciting annual Red Hills Horse Trials. JACK MCLEAN JR. PARK, CENTER & POOL There are 52 acres of fun at Jack McLean Park, located at 700 Paul Russell Road. The park features five picnic shelters, grills, a playground, four basketball courts, two tennis courts, a fitness trail, two bike trails, volleyball courts, horseshoe pits and a 24-hole disc golf course. There are also swimming pools and a 20,386-square-foot indoor recreation center. GOVERNOR’S PARK While it’s on the map, this park is probably one of the best-kept secrets in Tallahassee. The entrance is located off Blair Stone Road between Mahan Drive and East Park Avenue, and the property is known for its gently sloping open hill, scattered trees and woods trails. Great place to play catch with the kids and pups.

Dorothy B. Oven Park and House 3205 Thomasville Road (850) 891-3915 Jack L.

LAFAYETTE HERITAGE TRAIL PARK This park encompasses what used to be one continuous wet prairie system, but in 1950 a series of dams chopped it up into three distinct sections: Upper Lafayette, Piney Z Lake and Lower Lafayette. It’s now a great place to fish, bike, run, walk and paddle. The park entrance is found 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.

Lincoln Neighborhood Service Center 438 W. Brevard St. (850) 891-4181

SAN LUIS MISSION PARK Located north of Mission San Luis on San Luis Road, the park features covered picnic pavilions and lots of shady woods, walking around Lake Esther, plus a kids’ playground. Nice place to walk your leashed pooch or quietly contemplate the world around you.

Palmer Munroe Teen Center 1900 Jackson Bluff Road (850) 891-2569

TOM BROWN PARK Located east of Capital Circle Southeast between Mahan Drive and Apalachee Parkway, Tom Brown Park is considered Tallahassee’s bestknown outdoor playground and is the home for the city’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show, as well as other events. There are fields for softball, baseball and soccer as well as a disc golf course, a dog park, tennis courts and lots of other open spaces.

10 WINTHROP PARK TENNIS CENTER Located east of Mitchell Avenue south of Betton Road in the heart of Betton Hills, Winthrop Park has a playground, six tennis courts, racquetball courts, picnic tables, ball fields and a beautiful yellow rose garden near the entrance.

The Dreams of an Arts Patron Live on at Railroad Square By Rosanne Dunkelberger

WHILE THE GAINES STREET/COLLEGETOWN/ALL SAINTS AREA is growing, changing and gentrifying, Railroad Square is a 10-acre artistic oasis in the midst of all the redevelopment hubbub that’s staying true to its funky roots. “Where else can you choose between walking, biking, dancing, rock climbing, shopping for unique and local art and goods, eat lunch in a cafe made out of a real railroad caboose, and enjoy a coffee on an outdoor patio or a craft beer at Tallahassee’s largest production brewery facility?” breathlessly queried Lily Boynton Kaye, who co-owns the property with her brother, Adam Boynton Kaye, and his wife. Situated off Railroad Avenue and FAMU Way between the university campuses, Railroad Square started out as a lumberyard and industrial park, owned by William Boynton Jr. and his partner, Joe Waltham. In the mid-1970s, Boynton’s daughter, Nan Boynton, reenvisioned the park as a mecca for artists’ studios and galleries and began replacing industrial tenants with regional artists looking for inexpensive studio spaces, including Florida State University’s fine arts program. “She was not an artist, but rather a businesswoman (her company helped develop the Ox Bottom subdivision) and a patron of the arts whose closest friends were artists,” said Lily Kaye. When Nan Boynton died in 2002, her children inherited the Railroad Square property. While both have since moved away from Tallahassee, they 2016–17 Tallahassee Newcomer 97

THINGS TO DO have chosen not to sell or redevelop the property, continuing to operate the art park according to their mother’s vision. “We’re surrounded by new construction, and my responsibility is to preserve who we are but get us ready for this new era,” property manager Lillian Finn said. “We’re going to be that little artistic island in the middle of all of the rest of it, and we’re so excited about that.” In the early ’80s, Boynton put on May Fair, the first arts and music festival at

“We’re always going to be bohemian, we’re always going to be funky and eclectic, but we’re also a fun, safe place to be.” Railroad Square’s Mickee Faust Club theatre, top right, serves up contemporary productions rife with social commentary.

THINGS TO DO

Railroad Square. It was the precursor to the hugely successful First Friday Gallery Hops, which for 15 years have been attracting crowds of up to 7,000 people to the art park’s signature monthly event, when all the shops and galleries stay open for the evening and food, music and other fun activities abound. Unfortunately, said Finn, Railroad Square is also the victim of its First Friday success. Some people purposefully avoid the crowds during the event and don’t consider visiting at any other time. (Recall the Yogi Berraism, “It’s so popular nobody goes there anymore.”) “We’re proud of the event, but that’s not really who we are,” she said. “We have so much to offer on a day-to-day basis.” The park’s aging and often colorfully painted buildings situated on a looping road — some date back to the World War II era — are usually fully occupied by a curated mix of about 50 tenants, including three vintage shops, the Mickee Faust Club theatre, artists’ and craftsmen’s studios, a rock climbing gym, a kayak outfitter, printers and more. Things roll at a more leisurely pace at Railroad Square, with most vendors opening “11 a.m.-ish” Wednesday through Sunday. Two recently opened business are proving to be popular draws for Railroad Square — the Proof Brewing Co. and the second location for the Black Dog Café. Located in what used to be the FSU artist studios building, Proof is a production brewery and tasting room with a beer garden where patrons can enjoy live music, bocce ball, table tennis and other outdoor activities. “I think it is one of the few drinking establishments in town where parents can feel comfortable bringing their children,” said Kaye. 2016–17 Tallahassee Newcomer

In addition to coffee, pastries and other food options (including frozen treats, some spiked with booze), Black Dog offers jazz on Saturday nights as well as a Thursday literary night. Next door, The Crum Box Gastgarden offers a menu of “grind-to-grill” sausages as well as entertainment, including screenings of bad movies accompanied by live riffs from local comedians. For years, construction of the new FAMU Way along the south boundary — the third phase of the Capital Cascades Trail — has presented challenges to accessing the businesses in Railroad Square. But the soon-to-be-complete project should make the art park better and more accessible than ever. Construction of a roundabout at Pinellas Street provides a second entrance to Railroad Square. A “linear park” is being created alongside the roadway, creating a walking path from Cascades Park. The new park will include a playground, shaded resting areas, parking and paths leading into the art park. “We are very excited to see it finally coming to fruition,” said Kaye. “The Greenway will encourage more pedestrian activity and make Railroad Square an even more desirable place to be.” But operators say Railroad Square won’t change all that much. “We’re always going to be bohemian, we’re always going to be funky and eclectic, but we’re also a fun, safe place to be,” Finn said.
