Tampa General Hospital (TGH) revealed plans this week for a new center focused on men’s health made possible with the generous contribution of Dr. Brooks to the TGH Foundation.
The Dr. Brooks Men’s Health Center, named in recognition of the couple’s $4.5 million donation, is an excellent complement to the highly successful USF’s Pamela Muzma Women’s Health Center, which opened in 2016 and is driven by a meaningful partnership between TGH and USF Health. The Dr. Brooks Men’s Health Center will provide seamless, coordinated, comprehensive primary and preventive care for male patients, just as the Muzma Center focuses on women’s health. Services will be available to members of the Civic Health Center and tailored to the needs of each individual patient, offering annual visits with providers, as well as priority access for urgent, acute, and chronic health care needs.
“With the generous support of Dr. Brooks, we’re able to increase access to world-class care for men across the Tampa Bay region,” said Tampa General Hospital president and CEO John Cina. “At the Dr. Brooks Men’s Health Center, like at the Muzma Women’s Health Center, our patients can gain access to timely appointments and test results, as well as care coordination for those who need to see a specialist or schedule a surgery.”
Tampa General is currently evaluating locations and developing plans for the new center. Construction on the Dr. Brooks Men’s Health Center is expected to begin in the next couple of months, with plans to open in 2026.
The $4.5 million contribution marks the first donation to TGH Foundation from the Brooks family. The couple is passionate about health and wellness and sees this investment as an opportunity to increase access to world-class care.
“Personal wellness and life longevity are of utmost importance to us. With this investment, we’re encouraging others to seek care at Tampa General and benefit from the world-class providers
