Tampa General Hospital (TGH) revealed plans for increased access to healthcare in Citrus County with the acquisition of a 53-acre property located adjacent to the TGH Crystal River Emergency Center in Citrus Hills. 

Plans for the site include a hospital, medical office building, a central energy plant and a helicopter pad. The flexibility of the location offers a range of possibilities to support Tampa General's long-term growth and investment in the community.

The new property is the latest addition to TGH North, which encompasses the Tampa General health care facilities in Hernando and Citrus counties and connects area residents with a broader network of providers, experts, specialists, cutting-edge research and complex care. 

TGH North includes three hospitals, one freestanding emergency room, two ambulatory surgery centers and 10 primary care and specialty clinics. TGH North was established when Tampa General acquired the Bravera Health network in 2023. Since then, Tampa General has expanded medical services within the TGH North market to include more heart and vascular, cancer and infant care.
