“As a result of the transformative work of our team members and providers, powered by our strong academic partnership with the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, Tampa General is ranked the #1 hospital in the Tampa Bay region for the 10th year in a row,” said John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General. “As our region’s only academic health system, we are incredibly proud to provide compassionate, innovative, high-quality and highly complex care to millions of people every year and across an ever-growing network of seven hospitals and more than 150 care locations statewide.”
