TAMPA, FL – August 4, 2025– LoCicero Health, home to an award-winning, COLA – accredited laboratory, is pleased to announce the opening of two new draw station locations to better serve the Tampa Bay community. These new additions, in Wesley Chapel and Tampa Heights, expand the accessibility of high-quality, diagnostic laboratory services beyond the original main draw station in South Tampa. 

The new locations are: 

Wesley Chapel Draw Station: 
5857 Algerian Way, Suite 102 
Wesley Chapel, Fl 33545 

Tampa Heights Draw Station: 
701 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Suite 3 
Tampa, FL 33603 

LoCicero Health’s laboratory is recognized in the State of Florida for excellence and maintains full accreditation by COLA, a leading laboratory accrediting body committed to ensuring high standards in laboratory medicine. This distinction reflects the laboratory’s adherence to rigorous clinical standards, cutting-edge technology, and a dedication to patient-centered care. 

“With the increasing demand for fast, reliable, and convenient laboratory services, we are excited to bring our trusted diagnostic capabilities closer to more neighborhoods said Carl Gilbert, Medical Technologist at LoCicero Health. “Our new draw stations will make it easier than ever for patients in Wesley Chapel and Tampa Heights to access the same high-quality care that our South Tampa patients have come to rely on”. 

Each draw station is staffed with experienced phlebotomists and designed to provide a seamless patient experience. Patients can expect minimal wait times, user-friendly scheduling, and a compassionate, professional team focused on comfort and accuracy. 

LoCicero Health’s expansion supports its mission to deliver comprehensive healthcare services with a personalized approach. From routine bloodwork to specialized testing, the in-house laboratory allows for quicker turnaround times, greater control over sample integrity, and enhanced communication between healthcare providers and patients. 

“By expanding our footprint, we are not just opening new locations – we are reaffirming our commitment to meeting patients where they are, both geographically and in terms of their health journey”, added Gilbert. 

Patients can walk in during normal business hours or schedule appointments at any of the three laboratory draw stations via LoCicero Health’s website or by calling the main office. Most major insurance plans are accepted, and same-day appointments are often available.
