Title
Tampa Bay Hospital - University Community Hospital Tampa Florida
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- University Community Hospital (UCH) was founded in the mid 1960's by a group of progressive businessmen who recognized the need for hospital services in a rural, yet developing north Tampa region. Led by John S. Allen, the president of the newly opened University of South Florida, former Florida Governor Doyle E. Carlton, Tampa attorney Michel G. Emmanuel and businessmen Bruce M. Robbins Jr. and J. Ross Parker, this group was able to turn their vision into reality. Piecing together a unique financing plan and receiving an agreement of support from Hillsborough County, $6.25 million in tax-exempt bonds were sold to build the 208-bed University Community Hospital, a not-for-profit facility that accepted its first patient on July 15, 1968.
