Tampa General, Mass General Brigham Launch Treasure Coast Health Network

Residents in Martin and St. Lucie counties will gain access to an expanded network of cancer treatment, specialty care and outpatient services under a new joint venture announced between Tampa General Hospital and Mass General Brigham.

The two academic health systems held a community preview in Palm Beach last week, outlining plans for a coordinated ambulatory network — meaning outpatient, non-hospitalization services — that will include primary care, specialty care, advanced imaging, oncology and outpatient surgical procedures across Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties. A radiation oncology center set to open later this year at the 11000 block of Legacy Avenue in Palm Beach Gardens will serve cancer patients throughout the region.

"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," said Anne Klibanski, MD, CEO of Mass General Brigham.

The venture also calls for expanding the Tampa General Physicians Network, which currently operates 20 locations in Florida. The two health systems plan to grow that footprint while adding advanced training programs and collaborative clinical research opportunities — developments that could eventually draw additional specialist physicians to serve Martin and St. Lucie county patients closer to home.

The partnership builds on several years of collaboration between the two institutions, including a veterans' wellness initiative called the Home Base Program, which provides services for veterans with traumatic brain injuries, and a bone marrow transplant program that in 2025 achieved FACT accreditation — a peer-reviewed certification confirming high standards for cellular therapies.

Tampa General Hospital operates in affiliation with the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine. The MGB partnership reflects the system's commitment to expanding access to academic-quality care across the state, said John Couris, president and CEO of Florida Health Sciences Center and Tampa General Hospital.

The timeline for opening additional Martin and St. Lucie county locations has not been announced. Patients seeking information about services available in their area should contact the St. Lucie County Health Department at (772) 462-3800 or the Martin County Health Department at (772) 221-4000 and ask about referral options as the new network comes online.
