Throughout the GuideWell enterprise, there are many nurses in many different roles. National Nurses Week, which begins each year on May 6 and ends on May 12 - the birthday of nursing founder Florence Nightingale- is an exciting opportunity for our company to recognize the significant contributions of nurses in our organization. Recently, we caught up with a few nurses to hear more about how nursing has had an impact on their lives, especially during COVID-19.

Sanitas Medical Centers is expanding in Hillsborough County, adding four new primary care centers set to open in early 2020. The centers will offer a patient-focused and concierge-level experience that helps Florida Blue members and their families achieve their health and wellness goals. Patients covered by most Florida Blue plans will have unlimited $0 copay primary care visits and up to two urgent care visits per year at Sanitas.

The four new facilities will be located in Citrus Park, Lake Magdalene, Temple Terrace and Riverview, providing routine care, preventive care, chronic disease management and lab services. The county’s first full-service Sanitas Medical Center opened in 2017 on Hillsborough Ave. near Dale Mabry Blvd.
