“Our colleagues and physicians across Florida have long been
united in serving our mission. Now, we will also be united under
the HCA Florida Healthcare brand and will continue to work together
to deliver top-quality care for patients across the Sunshine
State,” said Chuck Hall, national group president at HCA
Healthcare.
These facilities are the first of more than 400 affiliated sites
of care across the state to begin using the HCA Florida Healthcare
brand. By spring 2022, the remaining sites of care in Florida,
including hospitals, freestanding ERs and physician practices, will
officially adopt the statewide brand, uniting more than 11,000
medical staff physicians and more than 77,000 colleagues.
A New State-of-the-Art
Facility
The new HCA Florida University Hospital is located
adjacent to the campus of Nova Southeastern University in Davie,
Fla., and will open today. The state-of-the-art facility represents
a $360 million investment in delivering the latest advances in
personalized care to communities in South Florida.
“The new HCA Florida University Hospital is the latest example
of our long-standing commitment to providing patients access to
advanced treatments, innovative technologies and experienced
specialists and care teams who treat patients like family,” said
Hall.
The 330,000-square-foot, multi-specialty hospital is equipped
with the latest technology and offers comprehensive healthcare
services, including 24/7 emergency care, maternity services with a
Level III neonatal intensive care unit and a full range of robotic
and minimally invasive surgical services. With more than 600 expert
physicians on staff, HCA Florida University Hospital has 165 beds
and can expand to 435 beds based on community needs.
Continued Expansion and Excellence in
Tampa
Memorial Hospital of Tampa and its Tampa Community
Hospital campus will also adopt the new HCA Florida Healthcare
brand today. The new branding reflects the Tampa sites’ connection
to HCA Florida Healthcare. Facility name changes effective today
include:
- Memorial Hospital of Tampa is now HCA Florida South Tampa
Hospital
- Tampa Community Hospital is now HCA Florida West Tampa
Hospital, a part of HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital
“We are excited to be part of the first group of hospitals to
reflect the new HCA Florida Healthcare brand with names that
directly link us to the communities we so proudly serve,” said
Sonia Wellman, chief executive officer of HCA Florida South
Tampa Hospital. “Our new names clearly illustrate that we are
part of a unified, connected network of excellence across the
state. While our names have changed, our commitment to caring for
our patients and moving healthcare forward remains the same.”
HCA Florida South Tampa is in the heart of South Tampa,
providing a comprehensive array of services, including some of the
most advanced robotic and minimally invasive surgical programs in
the area.
The HCA Florida West Tampa Hospital campus is home to one
of the largest and most comprehensive adult mental health programs
in Hillsborough County, having recently completed a $19.5 million
expansion. This includes a full-service ER with an eight-bed,
dedicated mental health ER, adult inpatient mental health,
geriatric mental health and inpatient hospital-based substance
abuse treatment. The $50 million Hospital for Endocrine Surgery, a
part of HCA Florida South Tampa Hospital, is also under
construction at this site. When completed later this year, it will
provide highly specialized treatments and services for patients
with endocrine conditions of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal
glands.
HCA Florida Healthcare is also anticipating the completion of
another construction project, a new freestanding ER currently under
construction in West Florida and scheduled to open in early 2022.
HCA Florida Central Tampa Emergency will be a part of HCA
Florida South Tampa Hospital.

executive officer of HCA Florida Brandon Hospital. “This
initiative visually unites us with our colleagues and care sites
across Florida and reaffirms that we are all part of the same
family that provides our patients with high-quality and
compassionate healthcare services.”
New Names to Reflect the Communities
Served in East Florida
Today, the Tamarac, Fla., facility previously known as
University Hospital and Medical Center, has become HCA Florida
Woodmont Hospital. This facility sits close to the Woodmont
Natural Area, one of the largest remaining natural habitats in
Broward County. The hospital’s new name better reflects its
geography and affirms that its healthcare offerings are specially
curated to meet the needs of the local community.
Additionally, the Plantation General Hospital facility in
Plantation, Fla., has become HCA Florida Plantation
Emergency, a part of Westside Regional Medical Center, as it
transitions to an adult freestanding ER operating under the
direction of HCA Healthcare sister facility Westside Regional
Medical Center.
