UCF’s Board of Trustees approved the partnership between HCA’s North Florida Division and UCF Academic Health, a direct support organization to the university. All three of Central Florida’s hospital organizations submitted proposals to help build an 80- to 100-bed teaching hospital on 25 acres of UCF-owned land.
