Early this morning, City Council President underwent “successful” lung transplant surgery at Mayo Clinic. According to a news release made by the Hazouri team, “…the attending physician characterized the procedure as a success and the Councilman is already on his road to recovery.”

“In typical Tommy-fashion, [Hazouri] looks forward to getting back to work,” the release added.
The Florida Times-Union states, “City Council Vice President Sam Newby will assume the role of acting president while Hazouri undergoes recovery and rehabilitation.”

It is very heartening to read that Tommy Hazouri had had a successful recovery. He is a treasure in Jacksonville and has been for so many long years. His list of contributions are voluminous. Congratulations and best wishes.
