Florida Hospital Tampa, a USF College of Nursing clinical partner, teamed up with ABC Action News to encourage the Tampa Bay community to take 15 minutes for their health. To accomplish that, they offered free health screenings including cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and one-on-one consultations with a healthcare professional to discuss results.
