Important note to our health care partners

In collaboration with Tampa General Medical Group, USF Health is actively transforming the patient experience center to deliver world-class care and service to both patients and clinical partners. This patient-centered initiative strives to eliminate barriers, streamline processes, improve access and scheduling, and, ultimately, exceed patient expectations in their health care journey. We thank you for your continued support and trust in allowing us to care for your patients and appreciate your patience during this transition.

At USF Health we have various resources available to help providers find and refer patients to one of our specialists.
