Tampa hospital completes $300M acquisition, forms new unit

Tampa General Hospital says the transaction of acquiring Bravera Health network is complete.

Tampa General paid almost $300 million for three Bravera systems in July, a sign that the private sector isn't the only sector eyeing growth in Hernando and Citrus counties.

The centers are in Spring Hill and Brooksville, both of Hernando, and Seven Rivers in Citrus County. The hospitals, clinical operations, services, providers and team members that were previously owned and operated by certain subsidiaries of Community Health Systems will now form TGH North, a division of Tampa General, the hospital giant says.
