BayCare

Wesley Chapel will soon have three general hospitals within a five-minute drive, part of a boom unleashed when the state dropped a requirement that companies obtain approval to open new hospitals. Where are they building? What are the effects?

The Department of Justice accused BayCare of making donations to a Pinellas County organization to increase its share of federal Medicaid funds.

The nonprofit health system, which serves Pinellas, Hillsborough, Polk and Pasco counties, has begun a national search for a successor who is expected to be named by years' end.

BayCare's CEO issued a “letter to the community” that described a “conundrum” that hospitals have faced because of severe staffing shortages during the pandemic.

Hospital staff are working hard to ensure patients with urgent needs get quality care, including those sick with COVID-19. But the surge in patients means those not in crisis may have to wait.

One doctor recommends to either wear a mask and goggles or go indoors to help with the symptoms of red tide, and he says the toxic blooms are driving more patients to seek medical help.

Getting sick with COVID-19 last March was only the beginning of Dr. Devandra Amin's experience with the virus. He and his colleagues have spent the last year caring for patients amid multiple surges in cases, and with no clear answers on treatment.

Rapid testing with results in just 30 minutes will be provided at BayCare’s Urgent Care centers.
