TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tampa General Hospital (TGH) presented plans today for the new TGH Surgical, Neuroscience & Transplant Pavilion at the Tampa City Council meeting and received unanimous approval to rezone land, paving the way for construction.
"The new building will not just transform Tampa General's campus, it will be pivotal in our efforts to transform the health care landscape," said John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General Hospital. "The TGH Surgical, Neuroscience & Transplant Pavilion will be an intersection of technology and human ingenuity, where patients can access best-in-class providers, modern equipment and state-of-the-art facilities. This is one example of how we're continuing to invest in Tampa General's high acuity service lines and strengthening one of the nation's top 10 transplant programs. We are grateful to Mayor Jane Castor and the members of the city council for their unwavering support for this initiative and our ongoing efforts to expand access to world-class care."
The new pavilion will be home to Tampa General's surgical, neuroscience and transplant services. The 13-story, 565,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art medical building will provide 144 patient beds, 32 operating suites and increased intensive care unit (ICU) capacity. In addition, there will be space for education and training, emergency response and sterile processing, along with two floors reserved for future growth. This building is the flagship of Tampa General's $550 million Master Facility Plan, which was designed to meet the growing need for care in the region and across the state of Florida.
The TGH Surgical, Neuroscience & Transplant Pavilion will be a pillar in the burgeoning Tampa Medical and Research District, anchored by Tampa General and USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, where world-class clinical care, academics, research and biotechnology intersect in the heart of Tampa. It will be a symbol of the growing health care ecosystem that is attracting talent, creating jobs and transforming our state's health care landscape.
"The new TGH Surgical, Neuroscience & Transplant Pavilion will be more than a building – it will provide a seamless coordination of care, education and research," said Charles J. Lockwood, MD, MHCM, executive vice president of USF Health and dean of the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. "This environment will enhance the abilities of our physicians to provide patients with the highest quality care while also educating the next generation of health providers and pursuing research discoveries to both benefit our patients and improve health care."
