Building On On More Than A Century Of Service

From Our President And Chief Executive Officer There has never been a more exciting or a more important time to be part of the Jackson Health System family. We are building on more than a century of service to our community by designing the future of specialty health care.

From Our President And Chief Executive Officer

There has never been a more exciting or a more important time to be part of the Jackson Health System family. We are building on more than a century of service to our community by designing the future of specialty health care.

Our Miami Transplant Institute shattered every U.S. record in 2019, becoming the national volume leader by performing 747 organ transplants while maintaining the highest standards for patient outcomes. With a new outpatient clinic recently opened in our Jackson Professional Center and a new satellite facility opening this summer in Plantation, this partnership with the University of Miami Health System is earning the highest national accolades.

Our world-famous rehabilitation program has moved into a new flagship home as we opened the Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial, designed from scratch to be one of the country's elite facilities for patients recovering from traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cancer treatment, and other complex conditions. The family-centered design includes the latest technology, a full aquatic center, transition apartments, meditation space, an activity garden, and extensive public art installations. Even the building's layout is designed to ensure researchers, families, inpatients, and outpatients are sharing spaces - a constant reminder of the way Lynn Rehabilitation integrates academic study with the day-to-day treatment of patients. And its location in the heart of one of the world's most international cities ensures that Lynn Rehabilitation will be a hemispheric hub for diverse teams of caregivers and patients.

Our newest campus, Jackson West Medical Center, is blossoming in the City of Doral. On schedule to open in 2021, Jackson West will feature a wide range of physician specialty practices, including the long-awaited pediatric outpatient partnership with UHealth Pediatrics. On the same campus, José Milton Memorial Hospital will have emergency rooms for children and adults, the full spectrum of diagnostic and screening equipment, and 100 inpatient beds for services such as maternity and surgery. As our first custom-built campus, Jackson West is designed to seamlessly integrate into its fast-growing, family-friendly neighborhood, and will provide each patient with a personalized experience.

And our flagship site, Jackson Memorial Hospital, is growing its largest expansion in a generation with the construction of the three-story critical-care tower above the Ira C. Clark Diagnostic Treatment Center. With the capacity to eventually house 115 intensive-care beds, the new tower will allow Jackson to continue expanding its most sophisticated surgical programs such as organ transplant and the new Jackson Heart Institute, South Florida's only truly comprehensive cardiology and cardiac surgery program.

At the same time, we continue renovations and upgrades at our other signature facilities: Holtz Children's Hospital, Jackson North Medical Center, Jackson South Medical Center, and Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital, as well as our growing network of UHealth Jackson Urgent Care centers. All of these projects are possible because we are a family drawn from around the world and united by a commitment to compassion, accountability, respect, and expertise. These CARE values empower us to honor our historic mission of providing a single, high standard of quality care to every Miami-Dade County resident while also passionately pursuing the latest practices in surgery, medicine, and wellness. Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Our Mission

Jackson Health Foundation

Jackson Health Foundation is the private fundraising arm of Jackson Health System. Established in 1991, the Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors committed to implementing philanthropic activities that benefit the medical programs and patient services at Jackson Health System. Through the generosity of compassionate donors, the Foundation helps to fill the gaps on major capital projects and programmatic needs that cannot be financed by public bond support.

Jackson Health Foundation is revolutionizing fundraising for Jackson Health System, one of the largest public health systems in the country. We make miracles happen daily. With more than $192 million raised for Jackson Health System since 1991, we are devoted to raising the bar for the quality of life and health of our community. We look to the generosity of donors to join us as we expand our care of the population we serve. Together, we are all miracle workers.

Compassionate Donors Make Miracles Happen

Financial support from individual and corporate donors serve as a lifeline for our community and helps to make a positive impact in the lives of family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Jackson Health Foundation looks forward to working hand in hand with the health system to continue making miracles happen every day. For more information, call 305-585-GIVE (4483) or visit SupportJHF.org.

The Golden Angel Society is Jackson Health Foundation's premier giving society. Golden Angels play a vital role in supporting Jackson Health System's mission to provide the highest standard of quality health care for all. To date, the Golden Angel Society has raised more than $128 million to support patients in need at Jackson Health System.

The Guardian Angels are a dynamic group of philanthropists for Jackson Health Foundation supporting Holtz Children's Hospital. To date, the Guardian Angels, along with the amazing support of our community's philanthropists, have raised more than $37 million for Holtz Children's Hospital. These donations ensure all children at Holtz Children's receive the best medical care possible, regardless of their ability to pay.
