National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) has announced that it is expanding its presence in Florida. NUHS has operated its Doctor of Chiropractic program in Florida since 2009. The new facility, located in Oldsmar, FL will give the university more than 40,000 square feet of space in which to continue its 118-plus years of excellence, according to the university.
“The Board of Trustees of National University of Health Sciences is delighted that we are moving the Florida campus to Oldsmar,” said Jane Richards, PhD, DC, Chair of the NUHS Board of Trustees.“ We see it as a positive move for the University with lots of benefits for our students and room for future growth.”
“The move to a dedicated campus, still in Pinellas County, will give us breathing room to expand our Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) program,” added Joseph P.D. Stiefel, MS, EdD, DC and president of NUHS. “Oldsmar is a growing community that’s retained its small-town charm. It is a community we are proud to join.”
“Our students and faculty have always been community-centric, and our new home will certainly bring out the best in them. The city of Oldsmar has been incredibly welcoming, and we look forward to this new and exciting chapter,” Dr. Stiefel continued.
The new site in Oldsmar is approximately 30 minutes (18 miles) from the current site, and easily accessible via Florida State Road 580, as well as both of Tampa’s two major airports, Tampa International Airport (TPA) and St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport (PIE).
“Oldsmar will provide the perfect community to partner and grow with,” said Ron Mensching, NUHS vice president for business services, who assisted in the acquisition and purchase process. “In addition, Oldsmar is known for its diverse population, thriving local economy and abundant recreational amenities. The community is home to picturesque waterfront parks, and a robust downtown district offering ample restaurants and shopping—there’s so much to do there.”
The first class at the new location is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2026. Initially, the DC program will be offered at the new Florida site, with an eye toward future expansion of NUHS’ additional health care programs.
“We’re projecting that our new home will comfortably accommodate our current and future faculty, staff and students, said Randy L. Swenson, MHPE, DC and vice president for academic services at NUHS. “It’s an exciting time for our university.”
