January 28, 2026- Boston-based Mass General Brigham and Tampa General Hospital have announced a new joint ambulatory care network aimed at expanding outpatient services along Florida’s growing East Coast. The partnership will deliver coordinated primary care, specialty services, advanced imaging, oncology, and outpatient surgical care to communities in Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties, a region home to more than 2 million residents.
The collaboration builds on a history of cooperation between the two health systems and reflects rising demand for accessible, patient-centered care outside of traditional hospital settings. A radiation oncology center in Palm Beach Gardens is among the first facilities set to open later in 2026, bringing advanced cancer treatment closer to home for many Floridians.
“As one of the state’s leading academic health systems, Tampa General is committed to meeting the needs of Floridians by expanding access to world-class care,” said John Couris, president and CEO of Florida Health Sciences Center | Tampa General Hospital. “With this new ambulatory network, we are building on our strong foundation in Florida to ensure patients along the East Coast have seamless access to the highest-quality outpatient services. This partnership with one of the nation’s top academic health systems reflects our vision to lead in delivering innovative, patient-centered care across the state, while strengthening the health of our communities today and for generations to come.”
“This collaboration brings together two leading academic health systems with a shared commitment to clinical excellence and innovation,” said Anne Klibanski, MD, CEO of Mass General Brigham. “By creating a unified ambulatory network, we can broaden access to trusted physicians and advanced outpatient services, improve health outcomes, and deliver care that is more coordinated and patient-focused.”
