With main campuses in Gainesville and Jacksonville as well as satellite sites in Central Florida, St. Johns County, Ocala, and several other locations, we provide quality health care to patients across the nation’s third-most populous state through an integrated clinical enterprise. The country’s only academic health center with six health-related colleges (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health and Health Professions, and Veterinary Medicine) and a partner teaching hospital located on a single, contiguous campus, the system features 12 hospitals in total (including two teaching hospitals and five specialty hospitals), a host of physician medical practices and outpatient services, and 10 interdisciplinary research centers and institutes, including the National Cancer Institute-designated UF Health Cancer Center and our newest institute, The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology, located in Jupiter. UF Health is one of three national medical centers to be part of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Medical Network, proudly providing Team USA athletes with the same world-class care we champion for all.
UF Health is a world leader in interdisciplinary scientific discovery, generating more than half of UF’s total research awards. Research activities reflect a depth of purpose by focusing on the translational nature of biomedical research, from foundational science to clinical trials that advance patient care. The backbone of UF Health is a talented and dedicated workforce of more than 30,000 faculty and staff who educate the next generation of health care experts and provide lifesaving care and research breakthroughs for more than 4 million patients who come to UF Health each year from around the U.S. and more than 40 countries. UF Health is committed to improving lives and health through a variety of community-based programs and activities as part of the state’s “safety-net’’ hospital system, caring for people who have little or no medical coverage. Annually, UF Health contributes more than $4.6 billion to Florida’s overall economy.
