Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute expanded coast-to-coast in Florida.
The Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute welcomed a group of esteemed orthopedic and sports medicine physicians to its team, further expanding its nationally recognized orthopedic care across Florida’s east and west coasts, advancing orthopedic and sports medicine care in these communities.
Along Florida’s east coast, the orthopedic practices and physicians who joined Orlando Health following its recent acquisition of Steward Health Care’s east Central Florida locations are now part of the Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute team, bringing the institute’s exceptional orthopedic and sports medicine care to Melbourne, Sebastian, and Vero Beach. Six physicians, along with seven physician assistants, are part of this transition.
On the west coast of Florida, 20 physicians, along with 16 physician assistants with Florida Medical Clinic Orlando Health are also joining the Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute team. Existing orthopedic clinic locations in Brandon, North Tampa, South Tampa, Wiregrass, and Zephyrhills will be rebranded in the coming months. The St. Petersburg orthopedic clinic location is set to move to the Orlando Health Medical Pavilion – Institute Square campus this fall, reopening as Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute.
