UFJP Operations
Our practice plan is strengthening its presence in Nassau and St. Johns counties.
Ribbon-cuttings and topping-off ceremonies are special, as they represent growth and the start of something new and bold. Fortunately for our practice plan, University of Florida Jacksonville Physicians, we have had two major events recently to celebrate.
In early April, we opened the doors to UF Health Family Medicine and Pediatrics – Nocatee. In addition to primary care, the practice features several specialty services, including gynecology and behavioral health.
This opening marks our expansion into the southernmost part of Duval County and northern St. Johns County, an area that is experiencing robust growth. We look forward to serving the health needs of that community.
The UF Health family medicine and pediatrics office in Nocatee opened April 1.
Victoria Array, M.D, and Katherine McMullan, M.D. — pictured second from left and second from right, respectively — were among those who took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Array is a pediatrician and McMullan is the practice’s medical director.
Later in the month, we attended a topping-off ceremony in Nassau County for the UF Health Wildlight medical office building. Several of us signed the last beam, which marks a significant milestone in the construction process.
The building has 40,000 square feet of office and medical space for primary care, using a patient-centered model focused on prevention and early diagnosis. It will include urgent care staffed by emergency medicine faculty, imaging services, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, mental health services, dentistry and a laboratory.
This facility plays a key role in our long-term strategy in Northeast Florida. We remain on schedule to start patient care there in early December 2019.
Leon L. Haley Jr., M.D., MHSA, dean of the UF College of Medicine – Jacksonville, signs the final beam for the medical office building at Wildlight.
The medical office building at Wildlight will include urgent care staffed by emergency medicine faculty, imaging services, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, mental health services, dentistry and a laboratory.
MYUFHEALTH AND MORE
Lastly, our push for MyUFHealth registration is bearing fruit. We now have more than 100,000 unique patients who have signed up for the service, which offers patients personalized and secure online access to portions of their medical records.
The next edition of Academic Matters will include extensive insight into UFJP finances. We want to empower you with information so you can be engaged. Remember, you are one of the organization’s greatest assets.
