The Morsani Center's most distinct feature is called the One Stop Healthcare which aims to bring services including x-rays, MRIs, and labs to the patient. As a result, the patient is spared from scheduling multiple appointments at multiple locations for their annual exam. All of the patient's needs are taken care of during one visit. Furthermore, the center also stores all the health records electronically which ensures that the patient will be able to request appointments, send email messages to doctors, and request prescriptions online.
The South Tampa Center is located at the
The Advanced Healthcare at USF Health is also making an effort towards Holistic Health. The educational focus of the two centers are to teach students at USF Health to focus on the patient's overall well-being.

USF Health Libraries
USF Health Libraries consist of two locations: Shimberg Health Sciences Library, located on the USF Health campus in Tampa[3] and the Florida Blue Health Knowledge Exchange, located in the Morsani College of Medicine building in downtown Tampa.[3]
Founded in 1971, the Hinks & Elaine Shimberg Health Sciences Library serves the Morsani College of Medicine at the University of South Florida, the University of South Florida College of Nursing, the University of South Florida College of Public Health, and the University of South Florida Taneja College of Pharmacy.[4]
The first floor houses the circulating collection, reserves collection, and the computer lab. A new expanded 24/7 study space will open as soon as renovations are completed. The space includes new furniture, white boards, and electrical outlets. The old 24/7 space now houses new furniture and will become a group space for the library. Both of these areas are only accessible through swipe card access. The second floor is a quiet study area where the conference rooms are located (available for checkout at the Circulation Desk) as well as the home of the large print journal collection.
