World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts is proud to partner with the world famous Andrews Institute which will serve as the medical consultant for the WAMMA Medical Advisory Board Committee chaired by James Andrews, MD.
Baptist Health Care in Pensacola is building a world class institute for orthopedics and sports medicine in Northwest Florida, with the leadership and reputation of nationally and internationally renowned orthopedic surgeon James Andrews, MD. The creation of the Andrews Institute will secure Northwest Florida as a cradle for musculoskeletal treatments and research. The Institute is comprised of several divisions including: Multi-specialty Ambulatory Surgery Center, Outpatient Rehabilitation, Diagnostic Imaging Center, Athletic Performance Center, a Research and Education Institute, and a multispecialty office park for physicians.
The Institute is being constructed on property contiguous to the Gulf Breeze Hospital in Gulf Breeze, Santa Rosa County. Gulf Breeze Hospital has the distinction of leading the nation in patient satisfaction for more than eight consecutive years. This location along with the established reputation of Dr. Andrews, have the potential to attract national and international attention to the area for superior medical care in orthopedics and research, while also contributing to the local economy. The Institute should create an estimated 150 new jobs, with nearly $10 million in wages, in the highly educated and technical fields of musculoskeletal research and health care. The combined impact of the patient clientele and employment opportunities related to the Institute would further enhance Northwest Florida's ability to create an environment for positive growth while creating a reputation for world class medical care.
