Florida State University and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) announced Wednesday a designation of land on which the university will build an academic health center.

They also announced the formation of a community advisory group called the Transformation Committee to help guide the two institutions.

FSU President Richard McCullough and TMH President and CEO Mark O’Bryant were joined at the announcement by Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson who previously served as the Senate President in the Florida Legislature and spearheaded the legislative support for FSU Health.

“FSU Health is a total game-changer for the region and for the state of Florida,” Simpson said. “When I met with President McCullough about his goals, I challenged him to dream big – and he certainly has. I am proud to join in this significant first step on their journey to create a world-class research, clinical and health care center. The work of the Transformation Committee needs to be bold, forward-thinking, and innovative. That is what it will take for the dream to become a reality.”
