The First to Pioneer Advanced Care
AdventHealth is home to many new medical innovations that add up to better care for you. From cardiology to neurology, our physicians pioneer new procedures that raise the bar for care globally. Below are just a few examples of the breakthrough care offered at our hospitals.
-
Cardiovascular Care
AdventHealth was the first hospital in Tampa to offer the WATCHMAN™ device to reduce stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib), the Impella RP® heart pump for people with right-side heart failure, and the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure.
-
Neurology Care
A leader in minimally invasive stroke treatment, AdventHealth was the first hospital in the west coast of Florida to use the innovative TIGERTRIEVER™ Stroke Device to remove blood clots and restore blood flow in the brain following a stroke.
We also offer Tampa’s first fully dedicated epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) equipped with telemedicine capabilities.
-
Orthopedic Care
AdventHealth is home to the only surgeon in the Tampa Bay area to perform the subscapularis-sparing windowed anterior for total shoulder arthroplasty (total shoulder replacement). This innovative technique preserves the subscapularis tendon and provides a much faster recovery for patients.
-
Spine Care
Our multidisciplinary spine program offers both neuroscience and orthopedic surgical expertise, including a surgical sub-specialty in pediatric scoliosis treatment.
AdventHealth was the first in Tampa Bay — and second in Florida — to feature the ExcelsiusGPS®, a GPS-guided robotic system for minimally invasive spine surgery. It features some of the most impressive and accurate depictions of the inside of the body and gives our surgeons more clarity than ever before.
-
Women’s Care
AdventHealth is the first hospital in Tampa to offer molecular breast imaging, which highlights differences in tissues to pinpoint breast cancer earlier and start treatment sooner. Additionally, AdventHealth Ocala and its partners at Radiology Associates of Ocala are the first in Marion County to offer the SCOUT® Wire-Free Radar Breast Localization System, a more comfortable surgical solution for breast cancer.
-
Urology
AdventHealth was the first hospital in Tampa Bay to utilize the UroNav® system for prostate biopsies. This system combines MRI capabilities with ultrasound-guided, 3D imaging to diagnose prostate cancer earlier.
