Institutional Profile: USF Health: The Power of Creativity, the Passion to Improve Health

Abstract

USF Health (FL, USA) is home to a broad spectrum of health experts - from doctors to public health scientists to nurses to pharmacists - working together to envision a new kind of healthcare. USF Health encompasses the University of South Florida's Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Public Health and Pharmacy. One of the only campuses in the nation with such a broad vision of health, USF Health is designed to reflect a future in which patient care, education and research benefit from a cooperative approach. USF Health focuses on leading changes in healthcare with bold, energetic and creative programs. Innovative initiatives include a new partnership with The Jackson Laboratory; a new medical degree program that emphasizes leadership, undertaken with the Lehigh Valley Health System in Pennsylvania; and 'Bringing Science Home', a new program to help patients who suffer from chronic disease live more optimistic and fulfilling lives.
