Chapman Community Health Program
The Chapman Community Health Program (CCHP) is a student-run health outreach organization that strives to provide care to Maryland Oaks Crossing , a low-income housing community. CCHP serves as an opportunity for students to actively engage in the overall mission of the FSU College of Medicine by serving medically underserved populations and responding to community needs. Currently, student leaders at the FSU College of Medicine provide health screenings, promote preventative health education initiatives, and foster community development. Past successes include the implementation of monthly health screenings, smoking cessation workshops, a community garden and food pantry, and monthly social activities. CCHP projects are continuously evolving to meet the needs of the dynamic community at Maryland Oaks Crossing. Our program strives to guide medical students through the practice of community medicine and advocacy under the guidance of humanistic physician role models.
Health Screenings and Health Education: The Chapman Community Health Program (CCHP) provides health screenings to Maryland Oaks Crossing residents at monthly community events. The CCHP also provides health education services for community members on topics such as nutrition, physical activity, and tobacco cessation.
Tutoring Services:The CCHP is working with NoleMed, an undergraduate organization at Florida State University, to begin offering tutoring to children at Maryland Oaks Crossing.
Monthly Food Pantry Distribution:The CCHP partners with Second Harvest of the Big Bend and Good News Outreach to provide free pantry items each month to the community members of Maryland Oaks Crossing.

Foundation of the Chapman Society
The Florida State University College of Medicine Chapman Society is a Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society . The Arnold P. Gold Foundation , a public foundation dedicated to fostering humanism in medicine, sponsors chapters of The Gold Humanism Society.
Student and faculty members are selected by our Gold Humanism committee with the founding members being selected in 20 -20 Our Gold Society had its first formal meeting on (??? April 2, 2003), at which time the founding members were inducted into the Society.
Dr. Jules B. Chapman
Our Chapman Humanism chapter is named after Dr. Jules B. Chapman and Mrs. Annie Lou Chapman.
Dr. Chapman was born and raised in Florida. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, where he participated as a member of the UF Marching Band. Upon graduation in 1932, Dr. Chapman initially pursued graduate training at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago. He then matriculated at the University of Tennessee School of Medicine and received his M.D. degree in 1939.
Dr. Chapman completed his internship at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. During that exciting year, he married Annie Lou Boozer. After his internship, Dr. Chapman served five years as a regimental surgeon in the European theatre. After War II, Dr. Chapman continued residency training at the Episcopal Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital in Washington, D.C. He subsequently returned to Florida and began private practice in Ophthalmology in West Palm Beach.
Dr. Chapman was recalled to active duty at the onset of the Korean War in 1950 and became a flight surgeon. He held many key leadership positions in the military, including a three-year tour of duty in French Morocco as a hospital commander. Dr. Chapman retired from active duty in 1965 with the rank of Colonel.After his retirement from military service, Dr. and Mrs. Chapman moved to Ft. Myers, Florida, where he became an active participant in community affairs. He was a prominent member of the Royal Palm Yacht Club and the Ft. Myers Power Squadron, and taught advanced piloting for many years. He was also a loyal and devout member of the Unitarian Universalist Church.
In his personal and professional life, Dr. Jules B. Chapman demonstrated remarkable compassion and humanism. Throughout his life he remained a most humble and caring person. In recognition of his exemplary professional service, the University of Florida College of Medicine Chapter of the Gold Humanism Honor Society is named in his honor.
Mrs. Annie Lou Chapman was born in Haines City and was a longtime resident of Fort Myers. During WW II, Mrs. Chapman was a nurse in Miami at Jackson Memorial Hospital where she worked alongside Dr. Bascom Palmer in the pioneering days of cataract surgery. In the late 1930’s Mrs. Chapman served as the private nurse to Governor Henry Horner of Illinois. Mrs. Chapman’s husband, Jules B. Chapman, M.D. (Chappy), passed in 1991.
Mrs. Chapman will best be remembered for her unique and dedicated philanthropy. For most of the last two decades, Mrs. Chapman devoted her efforts to humanism in medicine in order to promote care and understanding in the doctor-patient relationship. To that end, Mrs. Chapman funded several full medical school scholarships at the University of Florida, and created the Chapman Chapter of the Gold Humanism Society, in memory of Dr. Jules B. Chapman. The Florida State University Chapman Chapter is named in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Chapman and supported by The Jules B. Chapman M.D. and Annie Lou Chapman Foundation. The Chapman Humanism Society selects and honors senior medical students, residents and faculty members who exemplify the highest standards of humane patient care.
Mrs. Chapman’s birthday was April 23rd. If still alive she would have been 100 years old. She died on February 13, 2013, an hour before Valentine’s Day. In 2010 she was quoted in the Gainesville Sun saying, “I could spend every day going to a funeral if I wanted, but on the whole, I prefer to enjoy each day of my life.” Mrs. Chapman’s urn was placed with Dr. Chapman without fanfare or ceremony. She was a truly remarkable person who lived a remarkable life.
