Beyond What’s Expected. As a community-based non-profit for over 44 years, our mission isn't to generate profits. It's to provide care. Big Bend Hospice exists to serve the people and families who call this region home. That means investing in programs that go beyond traditional hospice care. It means supporting grieving families, honoring veterans, providing music and spiritual care, supporting caregivers and helping ensure that those who need compassionate end-of-life care can receive it. These aren't extras. They're investments in our community. And they're part of what makes Big Bend Hospice different.

For you, we go Beyond Hospice. Learn more about how we help patients across the region at BigBendHospice.org Please tell the advertiser you saw their ad in the Cap Scan magazine! 2

MEDICAL/LEGAL

EDUCATE YOURSELF ON AMENDMENT 3! Amendment 3 is a proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution that would expand homestead property tax exemptions, modify assessment limits for certain non-homestead properties, and place additional restrictions on the use of property tax revenue by local governments. If approved by voters, the amendment will have significant implications for local government funding and, in turn, nonprofit entities supported by local governments. Organizations such as the Capital Medical Society Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving community health and access to care, are monitoring its potential impact on public services, community programs, and funding priorities. To learn more, we encourage stakeholders to review resources from: • United Partners for Human Services (UPHS), a collaborative network of human service organizations focused on strengthening community services and

LINDSEY BUILDING DEDICATION

Lindsey Building Dedication O CTOBER 7, 2026 C A P I TA L ME DI C A L SO C IETY AND CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIET Y FO UN DATION OFFICE BUILDING

H onor ing the Lindsey Le g a c y For many years, Capital Medical Society operated from a modest office inside Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare. At the time, Tallahassee had only one hospital, making the close relationship between the medical society and the local hospital both practical and natural. That dynamic began to change in the late 1970s and early 1980s with the arrival of a second hospital, then known as Capital Medical Center. Today named HCA Florida Capital Hospital, its emergence underscored the need for CMS to establish a neutral, independent home of its own. The earliest advocate for that vision was Dr. Fred Lindsey, who served as president of the CMS Foundation during the 1980s. Meeting minutes from early 1983 reflect discussions about relocating the Society to a standalone facility. A building committee was formed, and later that year, on December 20, 1983, Dr. Lindsey joined George Lewis, Bob Webster, and former Executive Director Diane Pickett to review the potential purchase of the building that remains CMS headquarters today. The group unanimously approved its acquisition from Buddy Strauss and Block Smith, and just nine days later, on December 29, 1983, the building officially became the home of Capital Medical 18

Society, the Capital Medical Society Foundation, and Capital Medical Services. The move marked a pivotal moment in the Society’s history, providing a permanent home from which CMS and its affiliated organizations could grow and expand their service to physicians and the community. Over the decades that followed, Dr. and Mrs. Lindsey continued to give generously of their time, talent, and treasure in support of Capital Medical Society and the Capital Medical Society Foundation. Their dedication helped strengthen the organizations during periods of growth and change, while their commitment to community service left a lasting impact

NELSON H. KRAEFT, M.D. SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT

Dr. Nelson Kraeft’s Legacy Will Live On Through New Scholarship Endowment It’s been a decade since our medical community lost a pioneering physician in Dr. Nelson Kraeft, who passed on May 20, 2016. Now, through the generosity of an anonymous donor, his legacy will live on via the establishment of the Nelson H. Kraeft, M.D. Scholarship Endowment at the Capital Medical Society Foundation, Inc. The donor established the endowment as a tribute to Kraeft’s passion for the practice of medicine, expertise as a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon, and long-time service to the Capital Medical Society Foundation Board. Earnings from the endowment will provide support for academically and clinically successful students at the Florida State University College of Medicine. Originally from Silver Creek, New York, Kraeft graduated from the University of Georgia at age 20 and went on to medical school at Vanderbilt University. He arrived in Tallahassee in the early 1950’s, and operated at W.T. Edwards Tuberculosis Hospital until the mid1960’s. He was a pioneer in the development of pacemakers, and integrated Tallahassee Memorial Hospital by admitting an African American patient for pacemaker placement.

Ho w t o make a gi ft You may honor Dr. Kraeft, help grow his named endowment, and support future physicians by: Making a gift online at https://capmed.org/donate/ Sending a check payable to the CMS Foundation with Nelson H. Kraeft, M.D. Scholarship Endowment written on the memo line, to 1204 Miccosukee Road, Tallahassee, FL 32308 Or by Directing a Required Minimum Distribution from an IRA to the CMS Foundation, Inc.
