In Tallahassee town hall, progressives talk of concerns over TMH sale talks
A panel of Democrats, including the progressive wing of local elected officials and the county commission's longest-serving member, gathered in a "town hall" to ruminate on the future of Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. A small crowd of about 30 people braved a downpour the evening of June 5 to listen to Tallahassee City Commissioners Jeremy Matlow and Jack Porter and Leon County Commissioners David O'Keefe and Bill Proctor, with Leon County Democratic Party chair Ryan Ray moderating. Ray is also Matlow's commission aide. After city leaders recently signaled they might consider a sale of TMH and all its assets, Florida State University immediately made its interest in purchasing the hospital known, hoping to put it under the FSU Health umbrella and get one step closer to creating an academic medical center. The possibility of the sale of the community-owned hospital has many displeased: "What we're looking at is a few hot headed men, some at Florida State, some at the City of Tallahassee, (who are) in a power struggle to meet their individual goals," Matlow told the audience at the American Legion hall at Lake Ella. "... What we're trying to say is, we need to be having a broader conversation about community goals, because what we would like to do is work with Florida State to see how we can expand academic medicine in our community," he added. The town hall was the latest in an ongoing citywide debate, sparked by a city commission agenda item that in part said "... staff will also explore the feasibility and potential advantages of a possible sale of the property, considering all available options and approaches." After the agenda item, FSU dropped a letter declaring interest in seeing TMH become an academic medical center, commonly referred to as a "teaching hospital," presumably under the FSU Health banner. For his part, Ray said he invited others from City Hall, TMH and FSU to join the forum. They didn't show. O'Keefe likened the TMH/City/FSU drama to a family argument among elected officials: "If we have a major issue with a family member, doesn't mean we throw them out. We agree with them on one thing; we don't agree with another. But that doesn't mean we just give up and do everything that 'Uncle FSU' wants to do." One person in the audience asked Porter which city commissioners voted to put up TMH for sale. She quickly provided clarification. "Technically, the hospital is not for sale," she said. "As far as I know, part of the problem with this process is that a lot of it has been happening behind the scenes without commissioners' or the public's awareness. "But that has not come to us for a vote, to initiate a sale, though it does seem that those conversations have been happening behind the scenes between the city, the city manager and the mayor and FSU," she added. City Manager Reese Goad wasn't immediately available for comment. Proctor, first elected in 1996 to represent the county's south-side District 1, suggested that if the discussion does go the way of a teaching hospital, FAMU should be included as well. So far, a partnership among the three entities hasn't been brought up. Discussion wound up veering in different directions later in the town hall, encompassing goings-on in state government, the new Florida A&M president-elect, even Blueprint's portion of funds for the remodeling of Doak Campbell Stadium to be finished this summer. And while a TMH discussion is not on the agenda, the city commission is still scheduled to meet June 11 at City Hall. This story contains previously published material.

FDA Classified Major Tomato Recall Now Classified as Deadly
Last month, Ray & Mascari Inc., an Indiana-based company, issued a recall on its 4-count packs of Vine-Ripe Tomatoes due to potential salmonella contamination. But the FDA has now elevated that recall, warning that the tomatoes could cause "serious adverse health consequences or death." While it is unlikely that the affected tomatoes will still be sitting on your countertops, the agency urges consumers to double-check their freezers for any tomatoes that may be stored there. Gordon Food Service Stores initially sold the recalled tomatoes in numerous states, including New York, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Mississippi. The affected products were packaged in clamshell containers with the UPC #7 96553 20062 1 and a master case label with Lot # RM250424 15250B or Lot # RM250427 15250B The update to a Class I, the most severe type of FDA recall, affects packages sold in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina under the name H&C Farms Label. These tomatoes came in various sizes, from 3-packs to 25-pound bags, and were sold between April 23 and April 28. Salmonella is a potentially deadly infection that can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, and in rare cases, endocarditis, arthritis, and arterial infections. According to the CDC, roughly 420 people die from acute salmonellosis each year in the United States. The organization urges anyone with symptoms resembling Salmonella to consult their healthcare provider. If you discover you have any of the affected tomatoes still in your possession, you should discard the product and avoid consuming it, per the recall.
