Jackson excels at second chances:
From advanced transplants to life-saving stroke care
Miami Transplant Institute performs first fully robotic dual kidney/pancreas transplant
Elizabeth Ramirez was diagnosed with type I diabetes in her native Honduras when she was 8 years old. As an adult suffering from diabetes, pancreatitis, and kidney failure, doctors said a kidney/pancreas transplant was inevitable. Ramirez found answers at Miami Transplant Institute (MTI), an affiliation between Jackson Health System and UHealth - University of Miami Health System.
A multidisciplinary team, led by Rodrigo Vianna, MD, PhD, MTI's director of transplant services and chief of liver, intestinal, and multivisceral transplant, and Phillipe Abreu, MD, an abdominal transplant and robotics surgeon, performed the first fully robotic dual transplant procedure on Ramirez.
Robotic dual transplant is a success. Read Ramirez's story.
Hialeah man receives life-saving treatment at Jackson West Medical Center after suffering heart attack

A STEMI is the most severe type of heart attack, and requires immediate care. Because of their new certification, the Jackson West team was able to quickly stabilize and treat Escobar.
