How do you get from New Tampa to the clinic?

From the Bruce B. Downs corridor near New Tampa Boulevard, it's about 16 miles and roughly 29 minutes without traffic. Head south on Bruce B. Downs to Fletcher Avenue, go west on Fletcher along the north edge of USF to Dale Mabry Highway, then south on Dale Mabry and west on Linebaugh Avenue. Bruce B. Downs is the spine of New Tampa and gets heavy at commute times, so I-75 south to Fowler Avenue and then Busch Boulevard west is a workable alternative of about 20 miles and 33 minutes.

Isn't New Tampa part of Tampa already?

It is: the City of Tampa annexed New Tampa in 1988. Being in the same city doesn't put the clinic next door, though. The trip runs from the Tampa area's northeast corner to its northwest side, across I-275 and past the USF area. Tampa Palms, Hunter's Green, Cross Creek and K-Bar Ranch all sit along or just off Bruce B. Downs, so nearly everyone here starts the drive on the same road.

When does telehealth make more sense from New Tampa?

When Bruce B. Downs is backed up, or your week is already full of school pickups and practices. A video visit from home in Tampa Palms or from a work laptop covers the same review of your health and dose. You need to be physically in Florida during the visit and have a valid Florida driver's license or state ID to show on camera. If your commute already takes you west toward Dale Mabry or the Veterans Expressway, an in-person visit on the way can work too, and the Wednesday hours until 7 PM help there.

Where can you get active in New Tampa?

The Bruce B. Downs Trail, the City of Tampa's New Tampa Greenway, runs about seven miles along the east side of the boulevard, with a 5.81-mile Tampa Palms Loop option. Neighborhood paths link it to Flatwoods Conservation Park, where a seven-mile paved loop road through pine flatwoods makes a long walk or bike ride; the park's Bruce B. Downs entrance is at 18205 Bruce B. Downs Blvd. New Tampa Community Park on Commerce Park Boulevard has ball fields and a recreation center with youth gymnastics and dance, handy if you'd like to walk laps while the kids train.

What do CDC estimates show for New Tampa?

New Tampa's main ZIP code, 33647, looks healthier than the county on average.

One injection a week, given at home, with the medication shipped to your door.
