A broken nose first brought Don and his wife together in 1985. His shocking cancer diagnosis brought them to Tampa General Hospital.
Their story is a reminder of what happens when expert care, innovative surgery and the support of the region's only academic health system come together. With Dr. Christopher DuCoin and his team, Don experienced the kind of world-class, collaborative care that defines academic medicine.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the enduring impact of his leadership. His words and actions continue to remind us that progress is rooted in empathy, dignity, and service to others. Meaningful change often begins with simple actions, a willingness to listen, and care shown in everyday moments. Today and every day, we carry that responsibility forward through the way we care for one another.

Our first Leadership Forum of the new year set the tone for 2026, with a clear focus on how innovation, technology, and teamwork will continue to shape the future of care at TGH. Leaders highlighted how AI is already making a meaningful impact, including the use of DAX Copilot in more than 300,000 patient visits, helping reduce documentation time for physicians and nurses and creating more space for patient-centered care.
The conversation also emphasized our commitment to protecting patient information and ensuring every AI tool is carefully vetted before it is put into practice. A broader discussion on patient safety and experience highlighted early progress tied to our new nursing structure, along with powerful frontline perspectives from orthopedic nurses who shared how consistency, teamwork, and attention to detail are improving care every day.
We also had some fun at the forum, with President & CEO, John Couris, manning a slingshot and launching t-shirts into the crowd to build excitement for Innovation Week next month! The forum closed with a forward-looking focus on fostering bold ideas, collaboration, and continuous improvement as we move through the year ahead.

While many spent the holidays at home, members of our team at TGH Crystal River were here, caring for patients and families who needed us on Christmas Day. Across the hospital, team members showed up with the same compassion, focus and dedication they bring to their work every day, whether at the bedside, supporting loved ones or keeping operations running smoothly behind the scenes.
Hospital leadership spent part of the day rounding throughout the hospital to personally thank team members working the holiday and share a small gesture of appreciation. It was a simple moment of gratitude and recognition for the hard work happening across the hospital.
It was a reminder that while the holidays may look different for those on shift, our commitment to care never changes. Merry Christmas from all of us at TGH Crystal River! 🎄💙

In health care, academic medicine isn’t defined by beds or buildings—it’s how many physicians you train, how many specialties you advance, how much groundbreaking research you conduct, and how deeply you define the future of medicine.
