Jackson Health System's 2015 Report to the Community.
A Long Flight For A Miracle
In 2013, Refiye Yilmaz arrived at the Miami Transplant Institute for a multivisceral transplant. She had come a long way from her native Turkey, and she needed immediate help. Suffering from Gardner Syndrome, Refiye had more than 100 tumors and polyps in her bowel. Skilled surgeons removed and replaced her stomach, pancreas, small intestine, duodenum, and a portion of her large intestine. She is now living a full, healthy life.

Our Family
Jackson International connects patients from around the globe with expert treatment for complex medical care. In addition, Jackson International's team provides these patients and their families with attentive, detail-oriented service to eliminate stress and worry.
Because it can be challenging to travel to a different country for care, Jackson International patients have access to our medical concierge and hospitality program. The program assigns a hospitality coordinator who provides compassionate, professional, and personal assistance 24 hours a day.
Recognizing the unique needs of international patients and their families, Jackson International developed the International Patient Reception Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, an upscale oasis. The center features first-class hospital amenities in addition to luxurious waiting areas, examination rooms, and a full-service business center.
The center assists with every aspect of the process from inpatient and outpatient referrals to emergency and trauma care.
