In 1946, FAMC launched a hospital campaign under Dr. L.H.B. Foote’s leadership, raising $2,000 and securing $250,000 from Tallahassee and the state legislature. The project aimed to build a 100-bed hospital with modern clinics, isolation wards, and outpatient services. It was supported by three fundraising committees to strengthen Black healthcare.
