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.
