Tampa General Hospital opens outpatient infusion center

Tampa General Hospital opened a new 26-bay Infusion Center in the TGH Cancer Institute's Brandon location Wednesday.

In its efforts to expand cancer care for the rapidly growing communities of south Hillsborough County, a new Radiation Oncology Center will open at the Brandon location on Palm River Road later this year.

Hospital officials cut a ceremonial ribbon on Wednesday and welcomed the press and visitors to the Brandon clinic, part of TGH's extensive network that includes 120 clinics. Officials showed reporters the new bays for outpatient treatment. Part of the center has been operational for a month, according to hospitals officials.
