Tampa General partners with high schools on career pathways

Tampa (Fla.) General Hospital North has launched multi-year partnerships with Citrus and Hernando County school systems to expand healthcare career education and workforce development.

TGH North — which includes TGH Crystal River, TGH Brooksville and TGH Spring Hill — will invest more than $600,000 over three years, according to a Sept. 8 health system news release. It will support the Academy of Health Careers at Crystal River High School, Citrus County Education Foundation, Health Science Academies at Hernando County Schools and the Hernando County Education Foundation.

Support will include scholarship funding, medical equipment, professional attire and clinical experiences for students. 

“This initiative is about more than funding — it’s about creating real pathways for students to explore and pursue careers in healthcare,” Jennifer Siem, senior director of strategic growth and governmental affairs at TGH North, said in the release. “By investing in these programs, we’re not only supporting education — we’re building a future-ready workforce that reflects the needs and values of our region.
