Ponte Health Global Corporation has announced the establishment of the Vertical Medical City Foundation, in Florida, to promote the progress of Geriatric Medical, Geriatric Biomedical, and Geriatric Health and Wellness Research in Vertical Medical City – Orlando and all future development locations. Vertical Medical City – Orlando, located at 1000 North Orange Avenue, is a place that the company hopes will become the new standard of care for aging-in-place.
Future Vertical Medical City sites in Florida will include Biscayne in Miami-Dade County, North/Palm Beach in Palm Beach County, and Tampa in Hillsborough County, servicing over six million seniors. Additional locations, such as Naples or Fort Lauderdale, might be studied but are not currently planned.
