Clearwater, Florida-based BayCare, announced that it had acquired a 36-acre office parcel just west of its St. Joseph's hospitals' campus in Tampa to provide room for strategic growth. The partial acquisition of the Tampa Bay Park includes three buildings and two parking garages and is adjacent to St. Joseph's, St. Joseph's Children's and St. Joseph's Women's hospitals. 

The acreage increases by more than 75% the health system's property holdings in the West Tampa neighborhood where St. Joseph's Hospital has operated for nearly a century. The health system intends to use the property over time to consolidate services from leased offices and to provide room for strategic growth plans, including expanding its BayCare Medical Group physician practice and to provide a headquarters for its rapidly growing graduate medical education (GME) and research programs. 

"As West Central Florida grows, so must BayCare to continue our mission to improve our communities' health," said Stephanie Conners, BayCare president and CEO. "The opportunity to buy such a large piece of property contiguous to one of our largest medical campuses provides us the opportunity to expand important specialty services for our patients and communities. This expanded campus will serve the entire region as a medical destination for specialty care."
