Meeting the needs of tomorrow today
A note from the President and Chief Executive Officer
What does the future of health care look like in our community, particularly as we move past the COVID-19 pandemic? Maybe the more important question: what should the future of health care look like?
These are the questions we ask at Jackson Health System, whether at the bedside or in the boardroom. We don't pretend to have all the answers-rather, we believe this kind of thinking drives us to provide better care for individual patients and all of Miami-Dade County.
"We are aligning with the best local non-profit organizations and leveraging community health worker models to be true partners in compassionately and efficiently meeting our patients where they work and live."
That means changing the way we think about population health by providing more holistic and individualized programs that help our neighbors prevent illness instead of waiting to treat it.
That means recruiting and retaining the best caregivers in the world to lead clinical teams that provide cutting-edge care... providing hope for critically ill patients who have been turned away from other hospitals.
That means building next-generation facilities to meet tomorrow's needs, like constructing one of the nation's largest adult and pediatric emergency rooms at Jackson Memorial Hospital and Holtz Children's Hospital.
And it means understanding the ways social determinants of health impact the full picture of wellness. More than ever before, we are aligning with the best local non-profit organizations and leveraging community health worker models to be true partners in compassionately and efficiently meeting our patients where they work and live.
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.
