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.
