Welcome to University Community Hospital

University Community Hospital (UCH) was founded in the mid 1960's by a group of progressive businessmen who recognized the need for hospital services in a rural, yet developing north Tampa region. The 208-bed hospital opened on July 15, 1968. Today, UCH has grown into a 431-bed facility that is home to five Centers of Excellence that focus resources on major disease areas including cancer treatment, women's health, pediatrics, diabetes management and orthopaedics. Our mission is to offer patients access to the most advanced technology and treatment options available.

The growth and development of University Community Hospital serves as a tribute to the guidance and leadership offered by its volunteer Board of Trustees. Since its founding, UCH has celebrated many "firsts" in the health care history of Tampa and today is recognized as a leader in an industry that is challenged by an ever-changing climate of health care reform and the growing influence of managed care.

The H1N1 Virus
The swine flu, also known as H1N1, has been in the news, and confirmed cases are increasing in frequency across the country and in the Tampa Bay area. Due to the possibility of a widespread flu situation, University Community Hospital wants you to be prepared and have information that will help keep you and your friends and family healthy. At UCH, we have been working closely with local health officials as well as monitoring the federal guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

For the latest information about the H1N1 flu, visit the CDC website.
