UCF Pegasus Health Now Accepting Patients

U

CF Pegasus Health, the outpatient medical facility where College of Medicine physicians are treating patients, opened November 7 and is now providing services including internal, family and geriatric medicine, cardiology, sports medicine, rheumatology, neurology, nephrology and infectious disease.

Dean’s Aesculapian Society members had the opportunity to get a unique, behind-the-scenes look at the center before it was completed. They took tours, interacted with physicians and staff, and learned about the state-of-theart practice from Dr. Deborah German, vice president for medical affairs and founding dean of the College of Medicine. As a convenience to patients, the facility offers on-site lab services and will soon offer on-site radiology.

Pegasus Health doesn’t resemble most doctors’ offices. Its décor is cozy and soothing—almost spa-like. Physicians meet with patients in small “living rooms” to discuss wellness goals and test results. Each examination room has a sitting area where the doctor and patient can sit and communicate eye-to-eye. The staff has received Ritz Carlton-based hospitality training and schedules follow-up appointments for patients while they are in the exam room.

and evidence-based care using the latest in technology and patient safety standards. Every day at the medical school we witness “UCF Pegasus Health brings a new dimension the expertise of our clinical faculty members. to local health care,” Dr. German explained. Now our colleagues are taking that dedication “We are focused on preventative, personalized to our community.”
