On-Site Unit to Provide Convenient Access to Vaccines, Sick Visits, and Well-Women’s Exams
BABCOCK RANCH, Fla., August 4, 2025 — Babcock Ranch is enhancing its healthcare offerings with the addition of a new mobile primary care unit operated by Tampa General Hospital (TGH), one of the region’s leading academic health systems. Launching in early Fall 2025, the unit will be stationed near the future TGH Urgent Care site in The Shoppes at Yellow Pine area, providing residents with convenient, on-site access to essential health services.
“This is exactly the type of forward-thinking healthcare solution we envisioned when building Babcock Ranch,” said Syd Kitson, chairman and CEO of Kitson & Partners. “This mobile unit is just the beginning. Our partnership with Tampa General Hospital is laying the groundwork for a long-term investment in health, wellness, and innovation for the entire community.”
The mobile unit will visit residents’ homes, but all care will be administered inside the unit itself, in accordance with billing and compliance requirements. Services will include vaccines, sick visits, annual checkups, well-women’s exams, and more.
Appointments will be required, and TGH is currently finalizing a dedicated phone line for residents to schedule visits. Most insurance plans will be accepted, aligning with current policies at TGH’s other locations.
Providers specializing in family practice medicine will lead care delivery from the mobile unit, which expands Tampa General’s growing footprint to Babcock Ranch. The mobile service arrives ahead of the health system’s permanent 6,000-square-foot medical space opening in late 2025, which will include urgent care services as well an Innovation Hub with nurse navigation. The innovation hub will offer technology and services for patients to better understand their healthcare. An additional 6,000-square-foot Primary Care and lab facility is targeted to open in the summer of 2026.
“This initiative is part of our broader mission to deliver world-class care to Floridians in ways that are convenient and connected to their everyday lives,” said Adam Smith, executive vice president and chief ambulatory care officer at Tampa General Hospital. “Babcock Ranch offers a unique opportunity to serve a growing population with tailored healthcare access that meets them where they are.”
The new mobile unit is the first asset from Tampa General to address comprehensive health services for the Babcock Ranch community. Future initiatives, including telemedicine and other collaborative care solutions, are also in development to meet the evolving needs of local residents.
