Sarasota Memorial Health Care System has opened a new outpatient care center with a state-of-the-art endoscopy suite and expanding specialty practice dedicated to early detection and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers and other digestive diseases and disorders.

Sarasota Memorial relocated business and support services staff last year and transformed a three-story building it owns at 1852 Hillview Street into a center for digestive health. Located adjacent to the main hospital campus, the first floor of the 23,000-square foot facility now houses Sarasota Memorial’s first outpatient endoscopy center, with three procedure rooms equipped with the latest endoscopic testing and treatment technology. The second floor consists of administrative and medical office space, and the third floor is now home to First Physicians Group’s growing gastroenterology specialty practice.
