It is the year 2002 in Jacksonville. The Jaguars have just won the Super Bowl and the city has landed the role of Super Bowl host for the 2006 game. The arts and cultural scene continue to prosper and a professional ballet company has been added to the mix. Education has made great strides and performance scores are at an all time high.
Crime statistics are at an all time low.
There are three major physician-hospital alliances in the city. Two of the three are going head to head for dominancy in Macclenny. All three were involved in the recent scramble over the controversial City of Jacksonville contract. Cutthroat business tactics were in evidence and all parties were vilified in the press. River City Medical Group is the largest non-hospital affiliated physician group in town.
