Tampa General Hospital (TGH) and Boston-based Mass General Brigham (MGB) announced a new joint venture creating a coordinated ambulatory network serving Florida’s East Coast and expanding access to high-quality outpatient services – including primary care, specialty care, advanced imaging, oncology and outpatient surgical procedures.
“As one of the state’s leading academic health systems, Tampa General is committed to meeting the needs of Floridians by expanding access to world-class care,” said John Couris, president and CEO of Florida Health Sciences Center | Tampa General Hospital. “With this new ambulatory network, we are building on our strong foundation in Florida to ensure patients along the East Coast have seamless access to the highest-quality outpatient services. This partnership with one of the nation’s top academic health systems reflects our vision to lead in delivering innovative, patient-centered care across the state, while strengthening the health of our communities today and for generations to come.”
The new joint venture begins with a new radiation oncology center, scheduled to open later this year in Palm Beach Gardens, offering a new option for world-class cancer care to Floridians throughout Palm Beach County. In addition, TGH and MGB will work to expand the Tampa General Physicians Network, currently spanning 20 locations, including providing advanced training initiatives and collaborative clinical research opportunities.
