TGH executive vice-president and chief ambulatory care officer Adam Smith said: “Tampa General continues to innovate the delivery of health care by bringing high-quality services closer to home for those in our community who need it most.

“The new TGH Outpatient Center also offers a valuable and cost-effective option for patients in need of immediate and reliable healthcare.”

Through Tampa General Medical Group, TGH will be responsible for managing primary care, walk-in and urgent care services at the new centre.

These services will be provided by TGH Urgent Care, which is powered by Fast Track.

TGH Urgent Care CEO Dr Daron Diecidue said: “Our urgent care services in the Sunlake community offer patients the quality care they need – when, where and how they need it.

“From medical testing to diagnosis and treatment for illnesses and injuries, the new TGH Outpatient Center will serve as a central health care hub.”

Last month, TGH introduced Apella, a technology platform designed to improve the experience of patients in operating rooms.
