How big of a difference does Academic Medicine make? Let us show you.
National studies show that patients fare better at academic medical centers, which typically treat some of the sickest patients and toughest medical cases. Because of their commitment to innovation and the latest advances, academic medical centers provide patients access to the newest, cutting-edge treatments by clinics and hospitals linked to a college of medicine. And, by attracting the brightest minds and most accomplished names in the medical field, academic centers provide world-renown research and top-of-the-line clinical care.
Not only do academic medical centers benefit patients, but they also leave a vast economic impact on the communities they serve, due to a center’s hiring, buying, and building power. The value of USF Health, the region’s only academic medical center, to the well-being of Tampa Bay is immense. Our success is Tampa’s success. Why?
