Florida Health Sciences Center (FHSC), which comprises an array of organizations including Tampa General Hospital (TGH), has recently been expanding its brand from the west coast of Florida into the rest of the state. As one of the nation’s leading not-for-profit academic and research health systems, TGH works in partnership with the University of South Florida and hopes to provide communities in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast with access to high-end tertiary and quaternary care that is not currently available in those locations.
“Our goal is not to compete with local physicians and local community hospitals but to provide access to the higher-end clinical care accessed through an academic health system, such as transplant work, high-end cancer surgery, high-end neurosurgery, high-end cardiology, and high-end esoteric work,” explained President & CEO John Couris.
