Congratulations to Jessie, who recently was a recipient of the DAISY Award! Jessie was recognized for her work as an advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP) in our Emergency Department. From the nomination: "Whether its a complex case requiring critical thinking or a patient in distress needing reassurance, Jessie handles every situation with grace, confidence and professionalism. Her clinical skills are matched only by her warm and caring demeanor, making patients and their families feel valued and heard. Beyond her personal excellence, the entire staff in the Bartow ED reflects a culture of teamwork efficiency and compassionate care." Thanks for all you do, Jessie!

We’re excited to share the new rendering of the future Pagidipati Children’s Hospital at St. Joseph’s, opening in 2030. Every detail of the new facility has been intentionally designed with children and families at the heart. From its bold, multicolor exterior with dynamic lighting to playful, family-centered interior spaces, intuitive wayfinding and welcoming common areas, the environment aims to uplift, reassure and inspire hope the moment families arrive.

The future Pagidipati Children’s Hospital at St. Joseph’s, a freestanding, state-of-the-art facility opening in 2030, will advance pediatric health care across West Central Florida.

We’re excited to soon bring the most advanced, cancer-fighting treatment to West Central Florida. And so are our patients. See this interview from Tampa Bay's Morning Blend to learn how one dad is grateful that BayCare’s expertise in pediatric care led him to proton therapy and why he is overjoyed to have it close to home for anyone else needing advanced cancer treatment. https://bit.ly/4b63nRa

Proton therapy is one of the most advanced cancer treatments available today. Soon, families in the Tampa Bay area will be able to access this care close to home.
