TGH Imaging will not only support patients and physicians in the South Florida area, but also work closely with the academic medical center's TGH Cancer Institute, allowing for a more streamlined process from diagnosis to treatment. The teams will take a multidisciplinary approach and strongly emphasize compassionate and personalized care that focuses on the whole patient. Should patients require treatment in Tampa, they can return home to the East Coast for follow-up care with their health care provider.
