About this area

St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg is a dense coastal peninsula city with strong academic medicine nearby and neighborhoods where chronic disease burden varies sharply block to block. Participants from St. Pete typically join long-interval studies because of the drive.

Getting to our office

From downtown St. Petersburg, take I-275 south across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (toll), continue to I-75 south past Punta Gorda, exit to Burnt Store Road (CR-765) south into Cape Coral, then Pine Island Road east and Chiquita Boulevard S south.

Local information

• Route landmarks: The Pier, Tropicana Field, the I-275 Skyway approach and the Skyway toll plaza.
• Pinellas County reports notable disparities in hypertension, diabetes and asthma control between south St. Petersburg and the beach communities.
• Allow about two hours including the Skyway toll; high-wind advisories occasionally slow the bridge.
• Remote consent review, phone pre-screening and visit batching make participation realistic from St. Petersburg; travel reimbursement is reviewed before enrollment.
