Helps East Coast Patients Access Cutting-Edge Care

Since 2020, Tampa General Hospital (TGH) has
been creating a framework of state-of-the-art services
connecting patients in Palm Beach and Martin counties
with the expertise and innovation of a preeminent
academic health system. For patients on Florida’s East
Coast needing a higher level of care, this has been great
news. With a clear path to TGH, patients no longer
have to leave the state when they need complex care or
procedures.
Now, to further help patients access complex care, the
nonprofit hospital’s TGH Foundation recently initiated a
special fund for those demonstrating a need for financial
assistance with travel costs to Tampa. The Patient Support
Fund will cover expenses like transportation, gas and hotel
accommodations.
