All Children’s Specialty Physicians Come to Wesley Chapel Area

Children and families who live in eastern Pasco County and surrounding areas have a new option for expert pediatric specialty care visits closer to home. All Children’s Specialty Physicians Outpatient Care, Wesley Chapel will open Monday, Jan. 13, as the newest location within the Johns Hopkins All Children’s regional network of care. 

The new location at 2905 - 2907 Allegra Way in Lutz, serves a geographic area with a growing number of families. It offers physician visits in several pediatric medical specialties with a demonstrated need for expanded access.

• Pediatric cardiology will see patients twice a week. 

• The pediatric endocrinology and diabetes team will see patients four times a week. 

• Pediatric pulmonology will see patients beginning in March.

• General surgery will see patients one day a week.

• Nursing services, EKG and echocardiography, Holter monitors and pulmonary function testing are available to support the specialty clinics.

The center is a precursor to the construction of a new 56-bed Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital off Interstate 75 at Overpass Road in Wesley Chapel. That project will break ground this year and is expected to open to patients in 2027.

“We strive to bring care closer to home for families, and this site is 50 miles from our St. Petersburg campus,” says Justin Olsen, J.D., M.H.A., vice president and chief operating officer at Johns Hopkins All Children’s. “There is a profound need for specialized pediatric care in this growing community. We will be their children’s hospital. Families in Pasco, Hernando, northern Hillsborough, Sumter, Citrus, Lake, Marion and other surrounding counties will have easier access to Johns Hopkins-level care close to home.”

Johns Hopkins All Children’s already provides care for many families through an outpatient location in New Port Richey, a maternal-fetal medicine practice in Trinity, and a newborn medicine collaboration with HCA Florida Hospital Trinity. The hospital has existing relationships with many area pediatricians through its residency training programs and Johns Hopkins All Children’s Care Network, the only clinically integrated network in Florida solely devoted to kids.
