Tampa General Hospital started in 1927 on Davis Island (Caldeira et al. 2016). The facility was initially known as the Tampa Municipal Hospital. The hospital had one hundred and eighty-six beds at the start. Tampa Hospital used Gordon Keller School for the nursing facility requirements. However, the facility has grown, and today it has one thousand and ten beds in place. Besides that, the hospital is now recognized nationally for quality medical facilities.
There are numerous services offered at this facility. For instance, bloodless medicine and surgery (Kumar et al. 2016). The Tampa hospital introduced the above service to cater to people who do not like blood products. The facility is committed to ensuring that those who develop reactions to blood have access to treatment. The bloodless care service comprises cancer surgery, critical care, cardiology, and outpatient surgery among many surgical services. Another vital function of this facility is the burn service. The hospital treats and takes care of severely burned patients. There are eighteen beds set aside for the emergency and rehabilitation of the burned patient. Apparently, the American Burn Association credited the Tampa Hospital to offer services to burn patients. Apart from that, Tampa hospital also handles various diseases of the endocrine system and any other complications that may company the disorders. Several qualified physicians and care staffs in the facility manage the patient very well.
On the other hand, Tampa General Hospital also provides advanced cancer services. The medical practitioners in the facility can diagnose, treat and take care of patients reporting cancer in them. In addition to all the above functions, the facility is also committed to providing other services such as laboratory services, throat, ear, and nose problems, and lastly heart and vascular complications.
On the leadership side, the board of directors leads the hospital followed by the medical staff officers and on end, the bottom is the senior management team. Apart from the above leaders, one thousand two hundred community members and college physicians are committed to ensuring that excellent services are rendered in the hospital. There are other eight thousand employees promoting services to more than a population of six thousand.
The facility has a mission, which is to provide comprehensive healthcare service to all the people of West Central Florida (Sampson et al. 2018). The health services run from the first service to a more complex health complication. The hospital also does its best to ensure proper medical knowledge and research in the area. On the side of vision, Tampa General Hospital maintains the lead in the provision of quality clinical services to the residents of Florida. The hospital will continue to cooperate with the community and academically qualified people in ensuring quality health care. Regarding philosophy, the facility is dedicated to providing quality clinical education on the side of the laboratory. Besides that, the hospital believes in the values of excellence, integrity, compassion, and accountability.
Based on the vision, mission, and values of the Tampa General Hospital, the services expected from this facility should improve quality, be accepted, and be of significant influence. The medical staff of the institution is highly trained. However, some challenges are facing Tampa General Hospital, and they include high population, winds whipping rain in the patients’ rooms among others (Snyder et al. 2017).
