Tampa General Hospital gathered the South Florida community for its second annual educational event on Wednesday, March 29. Held at the Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Tampa General hosted a “fireside chat” to inform guests about how the academic medical center is progressing academic medicine, innovation and research to provide world-class care to the State of Florida.
Guests enjoyed a cocktail reception, dinner-by-the-bite and dessert, while hearing from Tampa General President and CEO John Couris, along with a panel of world-class physicians, about Tampa General’s role as a leading hospital in America. Topics included Tampa General’s services for residents across the state, including complex care, transplants, oncology and a multidisciplinary approach. Patients from Florida’s East Coast also told inspiring stories about how the academic medical center saved their lives when they were unable to receive the treatment they needed locally.
The event aimed to educate the community about TGH’s expanded presence across the state, and how the institution works to augment regional hospitals by taking on rare, complex medical cases.
