Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington, joined by his wife Lori and Deputy Mayor Harold Briley, recognized Dr. Tomas Martin on October 31 for his contributions to heart surgery. Dr. Martin, a renowned heart surgeon and director of the UF Health Aortic Disease Center, received a mayoral proclamation and a key to the city. Both Lori Partington and Briley were former patients, having undergone major heart surgeries under Dr. Martin’s care. Known for pioneering the “Florida Sleeve” procedure for Marfan syndrome patients, Dr. Martin’s work has achieved high survival rates and eliminated the need for reoperations up to eight years post-surgery. In addition to his work in Florida, he has provided critical heart care in underserved regions around the globe. The proclamation celebrated Dr. Martin’s dedication, stating that Ormond Beach is “grateful for his contributions” in extending lives and supporting global communities.

Volusia County is joining Operation Green Light for Veterans, illuminating several county buildings with green lights from November 4 to November 11 as a tribute to military veterans. The initiative, widely observed across the nation and in Florida, aims to show veterans that they are valued and supported. The Ocean Center Convention Center in Daytona Beach, along with the Historic Volusia County Courthouse and the Thomas C. Kelly Administration Center in DeLand, will be decorated in green. Veterans Services Director Bob Watson expressed that this week is an opportunity to honor the sacrifices of veterans, urging residents and businesses to participate by displaying green lights as well. The county also encourages veterans to contact Veterans Services for assistance in accessing their benefits, either by calling (386) 740-5102, visiting volusia.org/veterans, or going to the offices in DeLand, New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, or Deltona.
