Thanks Skeptic; Wondered why I lost two MDs. Actually liked both.
John. There have been some huge changes recent.
HCA bought out TOC. All of the original partners in TOC have retired or passed away so a visit to TOC these days is actually a visit to an HCA facility.
In the fall of ’23, the TMH Partners heart surgery group lost 4 surgeons in a matter of weeks. Two retired, and two took jobs in another city. My first thought had been that rats were deserting a sinking ship but it turned out to be a bad alignment of the stars. It took them several months but they restaffed and all seems fine now.
Steve/Staff,
Any knowledge concerning what is going on with Tallahassee Primary Care Associates and Tallahassee Healthcare?
Seems TPCA is undergoing some organizational changes and doctors are leaving for other groups like Tallahassee Healthcare.
I suspect if we follow the money…
