GIVING BACK: I am in my third year as chair of the board of Tampa General Hospital, a safety-net hospital that is one of the premier academic medical centers in Florida in partnership with the University of South Florida. I love TGH's mission of providing world-class healthcare for patients throughout Florida, regardless of their ability to pay.
