The 1,750 residents of Havana, FL are no doubt celebrating the city’s plans to hire Havanan Camron Browning, MD to fill the role of the town’s only family physician. Browning, who is wrapping up a residency at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, will take over from the now-retired Mark Newberry, MD who served local patients for 30 years after being enticed by the town’s offer of rent-free office space and medical equipment – a deal similar to one that will be extended to Browning. “My goal,” says Browning, “was to be able to come home and serve my hometown. I’m here to stay. This was always my dream.”
