Miracles made daily.

Jackson Health System has never lacked for ambition, and this has been a year to celebrate our capacity to reach those lofty goals.
Clinically, we remained South Florida's undisputed vanguard in COVID-19 response. Nearly 10,000 COVID-positive patients have been safely discharged from our seven hospitals. We have performed more than 170,000 tests for the virus and vaccinated nearly 180,000 people against it. At the height of the most intense wave, 564 infected patients were admitted at our hospitals, stretching our already weary staff to the extreme limit. But when it comes to serving this community, they always found another gear, another wind, another way to meet the challenge at hand. Their work will be long remembered and deserves our deepest gratitude.
Against that pandemic backdrop, we approached a major milestone, completing the projects in our $2 billion capital plan. Anchored by Jackson's $830 million Miracle-Building Bond Program - an investment made by Miami-Dade County's taxpayers - the program featured transformational projects: Jackson West Medical Center, an all-new campus in Doral featuring adult and pediatric emergency rooms at the 100-bed José Milton Memorial Hospital; Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/ Jackson Memorial, setting a new standard for recovery among spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and cancer patients; the launch of a UHealth Jackson Urgent Care network; the UHealth Jackson Critical Care Pavilion to grow our capacity in heart surgery, organ transplant, Miracle building enhances our world-class care.

"When it comes to serving this community, [our staff] always found another gear, another wind, another way to meet the challenge at hand. Their work will be long remembered and deserves our deepest gratitude. "
From the day I arrived as Jackson's CEO in 2011, I knew our world-class team of nurses, therapists, doctors, techs, and other healthcare professionals deserved programs and facilities worthy of their excellence. Time and again, they have elevated their commitment to their patients through Jackson's CARE values: compassion, accountability, respect, and expertise. This report to the community celebrates their accomplishments and is a tribute to their love of making miracles daily.

Jackson West opens, bringing state-of-the-art medical campus to Doral.
Jackson West Medical Center, the first medical campus in the booming City of Doral, opened to the public in August 2021. The campus combines consumer-centered inpatient and outpatient facilities with the latest surgical and medical programs. Designed by the architectural firm Perkins + Will, Jackson West sits on a 27-acre property just west of the Palmetto Expressway on Northwest 25th Street.
The medical campus features José Milton Memorial Hospital, a 100-bed all private acute care hospital, including adult and pediatric emergency rooms, state-of-the-art surgical facilities, diagnostic and imaging services, maternity care services, and specialty physician clinics. The total cost of the project was $336.4 million.
On September 20, 2021, José Milton Memorial Hospital at Jackson West Medical Center celebrated a historic milestone.
The first baby was born in the new hospital's Little Miracles Maternity Suites. The bundle of joy, Francesca Barriga, is also the first baby born at a hospital in the City of Doral. You can read about Francesca's milestone birth and about our luxurious, private maternity suites here.
Financed through Jackson's Miracle Building-Bond Program and a generous donor.
In 2015, Jackson purchased the property as part of the Jackson Miracle-Building Bond Program. The following year, Jackson Health Foundation received a $10 million donation from the José Milton Foundation in honor of its namesake, José Milton, a well-known Miami businessman who became passionate about Jackson Health System after experiencing firsthand its high-quality level of care.
The new medical campus allows Jackson to expand its world-class medical services into some of the county's fastest-growing residential and commercial communities. Residents in these neighborhoods, including Doral, Westchester, Sweetwater, Hialeah, and Miami Lakes - all of whom helped fund Jackson's mission now have access to Jackson's services closer to where they live, work, and play.

Jackson North receives $100 million modernization. The result is priceless.
Jackson North Medical Center is new - inside and out. Following the $100 million modernization project that was completed in April 2021, the 382-bed hospital located in North Miami Beach doubled the size of its emergency department and added a designated pediatric emergency room to serve the needs of nearby families. Labor and delivery suites have been refreshed to offer a spa-like atmosphere. Surgical suites have been outfitted with the latest technologies, and the hospital's outpatient rehabilitation center has been upgraded with the latest equipment.
Jackson North also features a beautifully updated lobby and reception area to complement the updated patient rooms. Outside, the new Jackson North makes a great first impression with exterior designs courtesy of the Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places program, as well as a redesigned front entrance.
The finished hospital was made possible by the Jackson Miracle-Building Bond Program. Most importantly, of course, is the life-saving treatment people like George Wakefield continue to receive at Jackson North.George is on the road to recovery after suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke caused by hypertension in May 2021.

UHealth Jackson Critical Care Pavilion sets the gold standard in critical care.
Offering the highest quality, most advanced care in the region, the UHealth Jackson Critical Care Pavilion opened its doors in March 2021, making it one of the largest and best-equipped intensive care units in the nation.
The three-story tower is located on top of the Ira C. Clark Diagnostic Treatment Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. It features two floors outfitted with 54 all-private ICU suites, and another 25 beds currently under construction on a third floor. It includes high-tech equipment to help patients in their recovery, more spacious work environments for our medical teams, a dedicated secure pharmacy for sensitive medications, and negative pressure rooms for patients with infectious diseases.
