February is Black History Month, and two black women in leadership positions at Tenet Health Central Coast are especially proud of their black heritage. KSBYâs Neil Hebert sat down with doctors Tamara Battle and Aiga Charles to talk about how they hope to continue paving the way for others in healthcare.
âItâs about heritage and remembering those who came before; the struggles they had that I didnât have to go through. I rarely have felt that the color of my skin has dictated my path within the Tenet organization,â said Dr. Tamara Battle, a managing partner of Central Coast Pediatrics and the Governing Board Chair of Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center.
Also on Friday, hospital workers began offering vaccines to local police and firefighters, Kendust said.
Fort Walton Beach Medical Center had received an initial allotment of 2,100 doses of vaccine, according to McDaniel. She said North Okaloosa Medical Center in Crestview received 900 doses and Niceville s Twin Cities Hospital obtained 300 doses.
As of Thursday, North Okaloosa had inoculated 202 individuals, among them 142 staff members. Twin Cities vaccinated 210 people, 159 of whom were staff members, McDaniel said.
Under order of Gov. Ron DeSantis, the hospitals were required to vaccinate those staff and frontline workers who requested the shot, Kendust said. At this time the hospitals are not providing vaccinations to patients or the general public.
