VIEWPOINT

IN MEMORIAM: PAUL SAWYER, M.D. AND ROBERT SNYDER, M.D.

By Frank Skilling, M.D. 2025 saw the demise of two physicians who were leaders in the medical community of Tallahassee.

Paul Sawyer, who died in August after a lingering illness, was a premier urologist who led the medical staff at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in the 1990s when the status of physicians as independent members was questioned. Prior to affirming the status of hospital credentials as a contract between physicians and the hospital, there was concern that hospital administrators had ultimate control over who could be credentialed for hospital privileges. Ultimately, it was decided that the Medical Executive Committee had the power to recommend individual physicians for privileges to the hospital board itself. Paul was crucial in affirming the independence of physicians in their affiliation with the hospital.

Paul also served a term as the president of the Florida Urological Society. He was in private practice with what is now Southeastern Urological Center from 1982 to 2015. After retirement from private practice, he worked for the Tallahassee Veterans Clinic for five years.

Robert Snyder, who died recently, was a general surgeon who moved to Tallahassee in 1978 after completing a residency in general surgery at the University of Miami.

Bob became known as the breast cancer surgical specialist for scores of women in North Florida.

In addition to his clinical responsibilities, he served as chair of the medical executive committee at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital.

Like Paul Sawyer, he too was instrumental in formalizing the rights of individual physicians in their status as members of the hospital’s medical staff. He retired from clinical practice in 2017.

The leadership tasks both these men assumed were in addition to their very busy clinical schedules. Both were members of the Capital Medical Society. Their guidance in delineating the crucial roles played by physicians in medical staff governance is still felt today.

Dr. Skilling is a retired ophthalmologist. He practiced with Eye Associates of Tallahassee (now Eye Associates of North Florida) from 1978-2020. He also serves as the Cap Scan Editor.

2026 CELEBRATION AWARDS DINNER

CALLING FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE I.B. HARRISON, M.D. HUMANITARIAN AWARD AND THE THOMAS L. HICKS, M.D. OUTSTANDING PHYSICIAN AWARD The Capital Medical Society and the Capital Medical Society Alliance will host the annual Celebration Awards Dinner on March 24, 2026 at the FSU Alumni Center, in honor of Doctors’ Day. At the event, we will be awarding the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award, a prestigious award initiated by Capital Health Plan, and the Thomas L. Hicks, M.D. Outstanding Physician Award.

The criteria for the awards differ. The criteria for the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award are predicated on the values that came to be associated with the late Dr. I.B. Harrison: treating all patients with respect and dignity. Dr. Harrison was known as the voice for the ethical, compassionate practice of medicine. He is not only the inspiration for the award, but its first recipient, as well.

The Thomas L. Hicks, M.D. Outstanding Physician Award honors a physician who has demonstrated distinguished leadership in organized medicine, community volunteerism, political and governmental activities, clinical excellence, and educational activities; particularly with medical

students. The late Dr. Hicks is not only the inspiration for the award, but its first recipient, as well.

We are seeking nominations from the CMS membership as both of these awards are presented to physicians by their peers.

Nomination Form – I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award Nomination Form – Thomas L. Hicks, M.D. Outstanding Physician Award Please give thoughtful consideration to nominating a physician for each award. Please mail or email your completed nomination forms to the Capital Medical Society. All nominations are held in the strictest of confidence.

The deadline for nominations is January 9th.

2026 CELEBRATION AWARDS DINNER

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO CELEBRATE OUR FELLOW PHYSICIANS

By John Bailey, D.O.

I hope that we can encourage CMS members to think about physicians who have served the community and the profession well. Why is it important to keep up with the awards?

Because the physicians who are recognized are held up as an example to the community, and to their younger peers. Because there are so many counter-examples being held up to scrutiny every day in the news, television reports, and social media. Because medicine really is a good cause, a calling, and not

a technology to be "managed." Because practicing medicine is a risky business that places doctors in harm’s way for the benefit of others. Because society, and especially the Capital Medical Society, needs to reward its heroes of today, and inspire its heroes of tomorrow.
