The new family care center offers new moms a welcoming space to feed infants during visits to the family-favorite destination. Presented by the Muzma Children’s Hospital at TGH, the family care center at ZooTampa is one of many initiatives of Tampa General Hospital (TGH) to support the health and well-being of the broader community.
“World-class care is not limited to the four walls of a hospital. Through our partnerships in communities across the state, we’re working to support the health and well-being of Floridians in spaces where they live, work and play,” said John Cina, president and CEO of Tampa General. “Here at ZooTampa, families can explore the trails and enjoy the wildlife while also having a comfortable place to go and care for their young children.”
Cina was joined by Melissa McCarthy, vice president of Muzma Children’s Hospital at TGH and TGH Women’s Institute, and Tiffany Sims, senior director of Animal Programs at ZooTampa, to cut the ribbon on the new facility and welcome families into the space.
“Our partnership with ZooTampa is a natural opportunity to promote health and wellness where families already enjoy exploring the great outdoors and learning about wildlife,” said Sims. “With the new family care center presented by Muzma Children’s Hospital at TGH, parents have some privacy from the wild while they care for their newest additions.”
