Shriners to close pediatric clinic in Tampa
February 5, 2022 - Shriners Healthcare for Children Florida (SHC) will close its clinic at 12502 USF Pine Drive in Tampa. The health care organization has cared for children with orthopedic conditions regardless of the families’ ability to pay for care. “However, in light of recent changes in the delivery of health care services, SHC will no longer be providing clinic services at our Tampa location. This change will allow Shriners to continue and strengthen its core mission of caring for children with pediatric orthopedic conditions while ensuring good stewardship of our charitable resources,” Shriners administrator Fleury Yelvington wrote in a letter to the state. A total of 38 employees will be laid off on April 3. The positions include surgeons, physicians, managers, nurses and others.
