Clinic founder gets name on center

Dr. Stephen Dickey, founder of Doctors Walk-In Clinic, doesn't work as much as he used to since selling the Tampa-based chain of eight urgent-care centers a year ago. But he's not any less involved in community efforts.

Dickey and his wife, Marsha, now have their names affixed to the University of Tampa's new Health and Wellness Center, near Kennedy Boulevard on the west side of campus. The two-story, 10,300-square-foot facility focuses on advocating healthy living as much as treating student illnesses, offering social, spiritual and emotional support in addition to addressing physical queries.

“It's a much-needed service for the campus,” Dickey tells Coffee Talk. The former UT trustee says he was asked by university President Ron Vaughn if he would be interested in donating to build the center.
