This summer, the construction company Charles Perry Partners Inc. hosted more than 300 UF Health staff and jobsite crew members to celebrate all the work completed at the new UF Health The Oaks facility and for the traditional new construction “topping out” ceremony.

Brad Pollitt, UF Health Shands Facilities vice president, spoke to the group and praised the teams’ hard work. Winfield Scott, CPPI senior superintendent, followed by thanking the team and motivating them to finish strong on the project.

UF Health The Oaks on Newberry Road will feature: UF Health Physicians ophthalmology and ear, nose and throat services, as well as audiology services provided by College of Medicine faculty. Future plans include an outpatient surgery center and imaging services to support eye and ENT procedures.

UF Health The Oaks is scheduled to open in the Oaks Mall complex in early 2020. The location makes valuable services more easily accessible to the community and is conveniently close to Interstate 75.
