Bruce Fyfe Memorial Fund for Access to Care
In loving memory of Bruce Fyfe, our loyal and compassionate community leader, who passed away on March 24, 2017.
Bruce served on the Morton Plant Hospital, Morton Plant Mease Health Care, and BayCare Board of Directors for nearly 30 years. During that time, he was directly involved in the building of the Cantonis ER-1, the Turley Family Health Center, Bardmoor Outpatient, the Cheek-Powell Heart & Vascular Pavilion, the Morgan Heart Hospital, Ptak Orthopedic and Neurosciences Building, Axelrod Pavilion, Carlisle Imaging Center, Susan Cheek Needler Breast Center, Mease Countryside expansion, Jacobsen ER, Mease Dunedin Harris ER, Morton Plant North Bay Hospital, Starkey Tower, Tiedemann Tower, Doyle Tower, and programs such as the Dr. George Morris Earn As You Learn and so much more!
Bruce felt his best achievements were the merger of the Morton Plant Hospital and Mease Hospitals without the need for additional litigation and creating the Foundation’s Community Impact grant process.
Bruce was a passionate and honorable man who believed access to quality health care is an essential component to life, community, and family. A memorial fund has been created in Bruce’s honor to assist members of our community with access to quality health care.
