Gastro Florida, one of the largest independent gastroenterology groups in the region with more than 60 board-certified providers, has joined the Tampa General Provider Network (TGPN), aligning with Tampa General Hospital’s nationally ranked academic health system.
The affiliation expands access to advanced gastroenterology and hepatology services across multiple Florida counties, integrating community-based GI practices with the resources of an academic medical center—including the TGH Digestive Diseases Institute and oncology specialists.
Leaders from both organizations emphasized coordinated care pathways, access to complex procedures, and expanded use of advanced diagnostics, predictive analytics, and AI-enabled infrastructure.
The move reflects a broader trend in gastroenterology: regional consolidation and alignment with academic systems to scale specialty expertise, improve care coordination, and compete in increasingly integrated healthcare markets.
