Florida Hospital Tampa officially breaks ground on $256-million patient and surgical tower.

Earlier this month, Florida Hospital Tampa<\/a>, part of the West Florida division of Adventist Health System<\/a>, broke ground on a six-story, 27,870-m2<\/sup> (300,000-sf) patient and surgical tower. The expansion project includes 24 brand new-operating rooms, a new hospital entrance, and more than 100 surgical care beds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a state-of-the-art project that will provide specialty care in Tampa Bay,\u201d said Brian Adams, CEO of Florida Hospital Tampa. \u201cOur goal is to design a surgical tower that is not just relevant today, but will be relevant 30 years from now, combining surgical innovation and the most advanced robotic technologies with the nation\u2019s best physicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

The $256-million surgical and patient tower will be named The Taneja Center for Innovative Surgery, recognizing the family of Jugal and Manju Taneja. The family gave a generous gift to the expansion project, the largest donation ever to Florida Hospital\u2019s West Florida Division.<\/p>\n

This expansion is the largest of several construction projects in the division. There are also emergency room expansions underway at Florida Hospital Carrollwood and Florida Hospital Ocala, with a planned emergency room expansion next year at Florida Hospital North Pinellas. The West Florida Division is also growing the number of offsite emergency departments and central care locations.<\/p>\n

The Taneja Center for Innovative Surgery at Florida Hospital Tampa is expected to open in 2021. The expansion project also includes several hundred additional parking spaces and a redesigned landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
