An early tour of the UF Health Heart and Vascular Hospital and the UF Health Neuromedicine Hospital was given Thursday to show off the $415 million facilities expected to open at the end of the year.

A media tour of the UF Health Heart and Vascular Hospital and the UF Health Neuromedicine Hospital was given Thursday to show off the $415 million facilities expected to open at the end of the year.
