Grand Opening and Dedication Ceremony Florida Hospital Zephyrhills Simpson Breast Health Center

This week Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel opened the doors of its sleek $150 million hospital packed with futuristic technologies, such as an MRI machine that lets patients see peaceful nature scenes, children's exam rooms with changeable wall colors and motifs, and smart sinks and soap dispensers that record when they were used so handwashing is always documented.

Fewer than 20 miles away, Pasco Regional Medical Center touted its new partnership with Shands at the University of Florida, which will provide teleconferencing consultations on cardiac and stroke patient cases.
