Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare gala to feature major recording artist Teddy Swims. 'We're celebrating the power of music to heal, connect and spark conversation about mental health.' The Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) and TMH Foundation are drawing major entertainment to their annual Golden Gala. Recording artist Teddy Swims will be the featured performer at the 42nd year of the Golden Gala set for April 23. Swims will provide a private concert for those attending the TMH event at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center in Tallahassee. The philanthropic event will focus on mental health this year and support the expansion of behavioral health services, as well as the group's partnership with the Apalachee Center mental health services facility. Landing Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) for the event entertainment is a coup for TMH. Swims has skyrocketed in many musical genres ranging from rhythm and blues, country, soul and pop. He's nailed hits with songs such as "Lose Control," "The Door," and other tracks from his debut album I've Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). "For more than four decades, the Golden Gala has united our community in support of the future of health care," said Nigel Allen, TMH Foundation President and Chief Advancement Officer. "We're celebrating the power of music to heal, connect and spark conversation about mental health. Just as Teddy shares his journey through music, the Gala brings our community together to expand services - ensuring families and individuals across our region have access to compassionate, comprehensive care." While the Golden Gala is a private event for TMH, and VIP tickets have already sold out, the night's entertainment should be a vehicle for generating serious donations. "Expanding behavioral health services is critical to the well-being of our community. Apalachee Center and TMH have worked as close partners for many years to integrate and strengthen behavioral health services. Funds raised through the Golden Gala will help us build upon this partnership and respond to individuals and families experiencing mental health crisis," said Mark O'Bryant, CEO of TMH. The event is a black-tie affair, and tables are still available at the Golden Gala location. Drew Dixon. Drew Dixon is a journalist of 40 years who has reported in print and broadcast throughout Florida, starting in Ohio in the 1980s. He is also an adjunct professor of philosophy and ethics at three colleges, Jacksonville University, University of North Florida and Florida State College at Jacksonville.

Tallahassee City Commission has approved transferring city-owned hospital assets to Florida State University, marking a historic step towards creating FSU Health, a full academic health centre. The agreement includes an FSU investment of $1.7 billion. The transformation will combine research, clinical care and teaching to bring healthcare innovation and cutting-edge medical advances to residents across North Florida. The move aims to reduce the need for Tallahassee citizens to travel for healthcare whilst attracting patients from outside the region. The transfer represents the culmination of a multi-stage public process, evolving from the hospital's origins as a municipally established community facility. The agreement includes safeguards, deed restrictions and bondholder protections whilst preserving the hospital's public mission and charity care commitments.
Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare has become the first hospital globally to deploy AeroShield, a table-mounted inflatable radiation protection device developed by Salus Scientific. The technology aims to reduce radiation exposure for physicians, nurses and technologists working in catheterisation laboratories. AeroShield provides scatter radiation attenuation for entire cath lab teams whilst maintaining patient access and workflow efficiency. Interventional cardiologist Dr William Dixon performed the first clinical procedure using the device. TMH will serve as an early implementation site, working with Salus Scientific to evaluate real-world performance. The hospital is also adopting Salus Scientific's GLiFT and PeRM technologies as part of a comprehensive occupational wellness programme. GLiFT reduces orthopedic strain from protective aprons, whilst PeRM provides real-time personal dosimetry monitoring.
