Tallahassee, Fla. (Friday, April 11, 2025) – Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) is pleased to announce the Prime Meridian Healthcare Hero Award, a new colleague recognition made possible by a generous endowment gift from Prime Meridian Bank. This award honors TMH colleagues who consistently embody TMH’s ICARE values of Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence in their daily work.
Thanks to the enduring support of Prime Meridian Bank, this endowment will ensure that outstanding TMH colleagues continue to be recognized for years to come.
