FSU College of Medicine Auditorium*
Tallahassee
Dr. Bellamy is an orthopedic surgeon, Surgery Clerkship Director at FSU College of Medicine, lecturer at FSU, former Fl Environmental Regulations Commissioner and highly respected environmentalist and community activist.
His current focus is on the sustainable use of our finite resources, almost all of which are becoming depleted and more expensive. The solutions proposed by corporate leaders and political decision makers, often in concert, usually depend on a presumption of indefinite future growth, which seems increasingly problematic.
Ray's efforts have helped thwart the Koch brothers, helped defeat the coal plant planned for Taylor County and his letters to editor and op-eds have appeared frequently in the Tallahassee Democrat. Ray has received the prestigious Outstanding Physician Award given by the Capital Medical Society.
*Directions: The FSU College of Medicine Auditorium is located at the intersection of Stadium Drive and Call Street on the FSU campus. Parking is available in either the College of Medicine's parking lot adjacent to the building, the Psychology department lot off Call Street or the parking garage on Stadium Drive.
