JANUARY EDITION, VOLUME 2017, NO. 1
HOLIDAY AUCTION EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS IN RAISING FUNDS FOR WE CARE NETWORK AND MEDICAL SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS By Pam Irwin, CMS Executive Director “You know we went to med school together,” said Dr. Scott Sellinger, speaking to his friend Dr. Alma Littles. “But,” he added, “you grew up to be a doctor, and I’ve become an elf.” Bedecked in an elf costume, Dr. Sellinger, and Dr. John Mahoney, in his green sport coat and red tie, hit another holiday jingle bell run serving as auctioneers for Capital Medical Society Foundation’s 15th annual Holiday Auction. The evening’s net proceeds of over $71,000 will support the Foundation’s mission of improving access to health care through its We Care Network and its robust scholarship program for FSU College of Medicine’s local students.
FSU College of Medicine Student Volunteers: (l-r) Clayton Fuqua, Clayton Rooks, Gabriella Edington, Elizabeth Ichite, David Powers, A.J. Rhodes, Brianna Baker, Jarrod Robertson, and Andrew Sellinger.
Each year, the competitive spirit and creativity of our many incredible donors in putting together their baskets and specialty items for the Capital Medical Society Foundation Auction, quite frankly, continues
to amaze not only the staff, but also those who attend. All donated items did make it to the Auction, although the CMS elves were tempted to do a little pre-Auction shopping! Quoted, but not identified, two item donors Title Sponsor, Tallahassee State shared that it was Bank: Patricia Griffin (left) and “on their bucket list Matt Brown (right) with Supporting to graduate to the Sponsor, Tallahassee Primary Care Live Auction,” and Associates: Tom Harrison (middle). they did this year! Although most of us enjoy a festive holiday party, the enthusiastic support of sponsors, donors, and smartphone-toting bidders to raise important dollars for We Care Network and medical school scholarships makes for an even more meaningful and lively evening. Whether it was the “Dinner for 8 prepared by Dr. Sergio Ginaldi,” a trip to Ireland, a cotton wreath, sports memorabilia for diehard Gator and Seminole fans, or paintings and photographs masterfully created by our own member physicians, the guests did not lack for something in their price range to get the bidding juices flowing. And bid, they did! CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

2016 CMS FOUNDATION HOLIDAY AUCTION
The success of the event is possible due to the strong support of its sponsors, donors, and bidders. For the 15th straight year, Tallahassee State Bank generously provided $5,000 as our Title Sponsor. EMTeLink, Florida Cancer Specialists, Florida Medical Association, and FSU College of Medicine were each Presenting Sponsors at the $2,500 level. In all, 58 Corporate and Individual Donors provided the financial support needed to host the event. Sponsorships enabled the funds from the Live and Silent Auctions to go directly to Capital Medical Society Foundation’s We Care Network and Scholarship Programs. We are deeply grateful to all of the wonderful volunteer support in addition to the Alliance Auction Committee and Auction Steering Committee. This year we had ten medical students helping guests register on BidPal, serve as Live Auction spotters, and help gather your items at the end of the event. They included seven 2016 CMSF Scholarship recipients and three additional medical students from the FSUCOM Tallahassee Regional Campus for 3rd and 4th year students. The medical students truly enjoy the opportunity to give back to the medical community that supports them so generously through medical education and scholarships. Drs. Scott Sellinger and John Mahoney continued to hone their skills as Auctioneers Extraordinaire, keeping the lively group bidding against each other for a wonderfully great mission. They also took time to introduce the FSU College of Medicine students who assisted, to get a glimpse into their decisions to enter the field of medicine. It was a truly memorable evening. We are deeply grateful to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and bidders. We thank our Steering and CMS Alliance Auction Committees for their help and insight in planning and organizing a spectacular holiday party and auction and worked diligently behind the scenes for months gathering “the goods.” No carb counting was allowed this evening as we indulged on our favorites, back by popular demand, like martini glasses of lobster mac’n cheese, NY Cheesecake martini buffet, and Bananas Foster Flambé. Diets may resume immediately. The University Center Club was transformed by the talented Alliance Auction team who has decorating down to an art form. They set the mood for the evening with ornaments, greenery from Bob McCully’s property, and pine cones from Dr. Tracey Hellgren’s acreage. Last, but not least, I thank the Capital Medical Society staff. My heartfelt gratitude to Shannon 6
CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION
Boyle whose leadership and event planning skills created an event that seemed effortless, but is truly a labor of love. My deep appreciation goes to Rosalie Carlin, who somehow manages to keep track and upload over $100,000 in Auction items, coordinate the RSVPs and sponsor guests, and who is Winspire’s example of how to work with a nonprofit for auction trip planning. And they both do this in the midst of an already full schedule of Cap Scan deadlines, new memberships, CMEs, Lunch and Learns and other events. What a team! We look forward to December 7, 2017 for next year’s Holiday Auction. Mark your calendars for another wonderful event!

REAL CUSTOMERS. REAL ISSUES. REAL SOLUTIONS. We have been strategic partners with Electronet Broadband Communications for a number of years. Electronet provided our office with Internet access first, OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY
and we later added voice and other services that were offered as part of their business bundle solution. We have a very busy practice and our phones and
Internet are mission critical to us and our patients. We have been very pleased with not only the performance of Electronet services but the attentiveness and professionalism of their staff.

CALL FOR AWARD NOMINATIONS
CALLING FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE I.B. HARRISON, M.D. HUMANITARIAN AWARD AND THE OUTSTANDING PHYSICIAN OF THE YEAR AWARD The Capital Medical Society and the Capital Medical Society Alliance will host our sixteenth annual Celebration Awards Dinner on March 30th at the FSU University Center Club, 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 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 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.
We are seeking nominations from the CMS membership as both of these awards are awarded to physicians by their peers. Included in this issue of Cap Scan (pages 18 and 19) are the nomination forms. Please give thoughtful consideration to nominating a physician for each award. Please mail or fax your completed nomination forms to the Capital Medical Society. All nominations are held in the strictest of confidence. The deadline for nominations is January 20th.
Michael Forsthoefel, M.D., 2016 Recipient of the Outstanding Physician Award.

CMS FOUNDATION
The Impact of Private Support: Capital Medical Society Foundation’s community of donors strategically help fulfill its mission “to support the charitable efforts of physicians and others, increase access to healthcare, promote education and serve the community’s health needs through innovative projects that are exemplary, affordable and dignified.” • Access to healthcare is increased through gifts to We Care Network and the We Care Network Endowment Fund. More than $79 million in donated specialty medical and dental care has been provided to low income, uninsured patients since the program was created in 1992. In fiscal year 2015-16, which ended June 30, 2016, more than $7 million in health care was donated. Gifts support the salaries and benefits of the case management team who coordinate donated care.
DONATE TO THE CMS FOUNDATION
WE THANK OUR DONORS We thank the following people who made a donation to the CMS Foundation this past month: For CMS Foundation James Stockwell, M.D. Frank Walker, M.D. Richard Zorn, M.D. For the CMS Foundation Endowment Ray Bellamy, M.D. Christopher Wilhoit, M.D. For Scholarship Endowment J. Brian Sheedy, M.D. For We Care Network Kenneth Brummel-Smith, M.D. William Paul Sawyer, M.D. Year-End Appeal for the CMS Foundation-Area of Greatest Need Manu Padalia, M.D.
Your gifts to Capital Medical Society Foundation transform lives in the Big Bend.
• To provide incentives to keep medical students trained at FSU College of Medicine in the Big Bend after completion of their residencies and help meet the growing demand for physicians in Florida, gifts to the Scholarship Fund provide scholarships to FSU College of Medicine students who have expressed an interest in returning to the Big Bend to practice after completion of their residencies. $47,000 was distributed to eight medical students in 2016. • Gifts to Capital Medical Society Foundation help provide operation resources for Capital Medical Society Foundation. In 2015-16, funds were used for a roof repair, purchase of a computer firewall upgrade, rental unit maintenance, exterior painting, and office renovations to accommodate additional staff. In addition, modest grants to area non-profits whose programs improve access to health care for the underserved. In 2016, CMSF awarded $10,000 in grants to Elder Care for their In-Home Services Program and to Lighthouse of the Big Bend to provide tools to the visually impaired to improve their access to health care. Gifts to Honor and In Memoriam: You can make a donation to the CMS Foundation in memory of someone who has passed away or in honor of someone, such as a fellow physician, you hold in high esteem or has taken care of you or your family. CMS Foundation will send an acknowledgement letter to those you memorialize and honor. How to Give: Through the generosity of donors, funds have been created in order to establish financial stability to meet our mission. You can donate at any time to one of CMS Foundation’s current funds: 1) Capital Medical Society Foundation-area of greatest need 2) The Capital Medical Society Foundation Endowment 3) We Care Network 4) We Care Network Endowment 5) Scholarship Fund Checks should be made payable to the CMS Foundation and indicate on the memo line of your check to which designation you would like to donate.
