Medical Specialty Care in Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay's hospital campuses hold designations that aren't duplicated across the region — the area's only verified Level I trauma center, Tampa's National Cancer Institute–designated comprehensive cancer center, and a Johns Hopkins-affiliated pediatric hospital on the Pinellas side of the bay.
BayCare Health System
BayCare Health System is the Tampa Bay area's largest not-for-profit health care network, operating hospitals and outpatient facilities across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and surrounding counties — the regional backbone connecting patients to specialty care across the metro rather than a single campus.
Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital
Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, in St. Petersburg, is a Johns Hopkins Medicine–affiliated pediatric academic medical center recognized across multiple pediatric specialties — one of relatively few nationally ranked children's hospitals on Florida's Gulf Coast.
Moffitt Cancer Center
Moffitt Cancer Center is Tampa's National Cancer Institute–designated Comprehensive Cancer Center — a distinction held by a small number of centers nationwide and reserved for institutions meeting the NCI's highest standard for research, prevention, and clinical care, with active clinical trials not available at a typical community cancer program.
Sarasota Memorial Hospital
Sarasota Memorial Hospital anchors Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, the largest hospital system serving Sarasota and Manatee counties, and operates as the region's public safety-net hospital and primary referral center for the Sarasota/Bradenton area.
Tampa General Hospital
Tampa General Hospital is Tampa Bay's only verified Level I Trauma Center, an academic medical center affiliated with USF Health, and home to a comprehensive organ transplant institute performing kidney, liver, heart, lung, and pancreas transplants — a combination of designations not duplicated elsewhere in the region.
