USF trustees approve enhanced partnership with Tampa General
March 10, 2020 - The University of South board of trustees unanimously approved an enhanced affiliation with Tampa General Hospital, in a move designed to create an academic medical center. The new relationship is not an asset purchase or merger, but it does provide a platform for further growth and expansion, university officials told the board Tuesday morning. The enhanced alliance with Tampa General is "nothing short of a revolution in our region in terms of academic health care," USF President Steve Currall told trustees.
