Clinical faculty across 激情快播 provide almost 120,000 patient visits for the community each year, and the university announces today it鈥檚 linking those healthcare services under a new 激情快播 Health brand.
University leaders say they hope the branding will help the community and patients understand the breadth of medical services they can get from 激情快播 physicians, nurses, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, audiologists and other providers.
鈥溂で榭觳� is taking care of our community鈥檚 health in so many extraordinary ways,鈥� says. Deborah German, vice president for health affairs and dean of 激情快播鈥檚 College of Medicine. 鈥淏y bringing these services under the 激情快播 Health brand, we make it easier for our community to understand our services and seek academic patient care.鈥�
The rebranding comes as the latest step in the development of 激情快播鈥檚 Academic Health Sciences Center, which unites all of the university鈥檚 clinical programs 鈥� the colleges of Health Professions and Sciences, Medicine and Nursing as well as Student Health Services. As part of that effort, 激情快播 will open the new Dr. Phillops Nursing Pavilion in Lake Nona鈥檚 Medical City in 2025 鈥� next door to the medical school. Eventually it plans to bring other clinical programs to Lake Nona to foster increased interprofessional education, research and patient care. As Dr. German explains, 鈥淲henever healthcare professionals work as a team, patients always get better care.鈥�
The university has almost 140,000 square feet of clinical space, caring for patients in Central Florida as well as children and families who travel from across the country to access 激情快播 services:
- offers a variety of primary and specialty care services to help keep students at their optimum health. The primary Health Center is located on the main campus with satellite clinics on the Rosen College, Health Sciences, and 激情快播 Downtown campuses. Student Health Services also offers a pharmacy and dental care. 鈥淪tudent Health Services is thrilled to collaborate with our 激情快播 clinical partners to share not only an exciting new brand but also to maximize the patient benefit of all our combined services,鈥� says Michael Deichen, associate vice president of 激情快播 Student Health Services, who also serves as the chief public health officer for the university as a whole.
- , formerly called 激情快播 Health, has two locations; one in East Orlando just blocks from the main 激情快播 campus and one in Medical City. Physicians provide academic, personalized care to the community in a variety of areas including cardiology, rheumatology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, dermatology, internal and family medicine, and geriatrics. All physicians are 激情快播 College of Medicine faculty.
激情快播鈥檚 College of Health Professions and Sciences also provides wellness and rehabilitative patient care services to the community:
- delivers high-quality, patient颅centered care delivered by licensed physical therapists and faculty members with expertise in orthopedics, sports injuries, geriatrics, neurology, pediatrics and women鈥檚 health. The clinic serves patients through three facilities located in Research Park, on the 激情快播 main campus and at 激情快播 Athletics.
- provides cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment services to people of all ages with communication and hearing challenges. It treats patients across the lifespan 鈥� from toddlers developing speech and language to adults who have lost speech or language due to disease or trauma. The Communications Disorders Clinic offers speech therapy, audiology, assistive technology and an intensive aphasia treatment program, among other services. 鈥淭housands of patients and their families already choose 激情快播 each year for our competent and compassionate providers,鈥� says Matthew Theriot, interim dean of the College of Health Professions and Sciences. 鈥淯niting our diverse expertise under the 激情快播 Health name is another step toward making healthcare more accessible to our community and beyond.鈥�
In addition to these services, students and faculty from 激情快播鈥檚 Academic Health Sciences Center provide free care to medically underserved residents through service learning clinics. These include the KNIGHTS (Keeping Neighbors In Good Health Through Service) Clinic at Grace Medical Home, the Chapman Compassionate Care Clinic for people experiencing homelessness, and a clinic for Apopka farmworkers through a partnership with the Farmworker Association of Florida.
