The Tampa Shriners Hospital, Located on the University of South Florida campus, is a 60-bed facility that has treated over 27,000 children with orthopaedic problems since opening in 1985. As you can see in the photo (move cursor over hospital photo), we have just celebrated our re-birth and re-dedication with a renovations and expansion project that has created 30,000 square feet of new space and 15,000 square feet of renovated space.
The primary goal of the project is to enhance our existing facilities to provide the best care possible for the children and families that we serve. Most of the areas in the hospital that are seeing improvements directly benefit our children with orthopaedic problems, and their families.
