Dr. Tim Williams, a 69-year-old Florida physician who previously directed Delray Medical Center's Proton Therapy Institute, survived a fall that caused a brain bleed and a nine-day coma, underwent a bedside craniotomy, and endured a lengthy recovery before returning home. Nine months on, he’s about 80% back to normal, has shifted toward radiation oncology research, and credits Delray Medical Center’s staff and stroke expertise with saving his life. He emphasizes that anyone experiencing stroke symptoms should seek care at a stroke center to maximize chances of survival.

The Colorado bill aimed to reduce local funding for a water project, and the Florida bill sought to expand a protected area, both vetoed citing concerns over costs and interests. Congress may override these vetoes, but partisan tensions remain high.
