Local healthcare landscape in Tampa
Tampa General Hospital has its main campus on Davis Islands, and it is the primary teaching hospital for the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. That college opened its building in downtown Tampa, part of the Water Street development, which USF said brings students and faculty closer to the hospital. Tampa General has also announced a surgical, neuroscience and transplant pavilion planned next to its main building, and its board chair has spoken about growing the Tampa Medical & Research District. The city's historic preservation office maps Hyde Park, Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights and Ybor City as local historic districts, and West Tampa and Palmetto Beach as national districts.
