Great care starts with great hearts—and we're taking steps to make a difference!

For the second consecutive year, the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine Department of Surgery is proud to participate in the 2026 Tampa Bay Heart Walk!

As surgeons, healthcare professionals, educators, researchers, and advocates, we see firsthand the importance of advancing cardiovascular health, supporting lifesaving research, and strengthening the communities we serve.

This year, our team, "Suture Self, We're Walking!", is coming together to support the American Heart Association's mission of building healthier lives and creating a future with fewer lives lost to heart disease and stroke.

Whether you're walking alongside us, cheering us on, or contributing to our fundraising efforts, every step and every donation makes a difference.

Walk with us. Give with purpose. Help save lives.

Join our team or make a donation today as we work toward a healthier Tampa Bay—one heartbeat and one step at a time!
