They don’t treat bones or lungs… they don’t treat patients or customers… they treat people.

Fighting the COVID-19 pandemic at Jackson Health System Jackson is committed to keeping you and your family safe. Since COVID-19 emerged and presented the biggest challenge the healthcare industry has seen in decades, our team’s dedication to protecting the health and safety of our employees and our patients has been taken to new heights. Thousands of patients have been tested and treated for COVID-19 at Jackson facilities, one of them being Rosa Felipe, an electroencephalograph (EEG) technician at Jackson Memorial Hospital. After contracting the virus in March 2020, Rosa fell gravely ill due to her underlying health conditions. She was hospitalized at Jackson Memorial, the same hospital she has worked at for 15 years. After a long battle with the virus, physical and occupational therapy, Rosa went home to her husband and sons just in time for the holidays. She hopes to return to work at the hospital alongside the medical team that saved her life. To treat patients like Rosa throughout the pandemic, we adapted our facilities quickly to accommodate full capacity COVID-19 units. Because the hospital strictly limited visitation, the Jackson Health Foundation provided iPads so hospitalized patients could video chat with their families and feel their support while recovering. Jackson also offered COVID-19 testing at all of our hospitals’ emergency rooms and all of our UHealth Jackson Urgent Care centers. We later became the first hospital to administer the COVID-19 vaccine in Miami-Dade County, vaccinating more than 175,000 people. During this effort, Jackson focused on diversity and inclusion, partnering with more than 100 houses of worship, non-profit organizations, and community groups to vaccinate people in underserved communities. All of Jackson’s successes throughout the pandemic can be attributed to our army of healthcare workers - doctors, nurses, support staff, and hospital administrators who worked tirelessly to help the people of Miami-Dade County.

To the doctors, nurses, and staff at Jackson Health System: Thank you. The medical teams at Jackson have worked in the toughest situations throughout the last year. They persisted through long shifts in maximum capacity COVID-19 units while dressed from head to toe in layers of personal protection equipment that left sores on their faces. They stood in as family for patients who could not have theirs by their side. Because of our doctors, nurses, and supporting staff’s dedication to serving the community, Jackson treated thousands of patients for COVID-19. They saved lives. On behalf of Jackson and the entire Miami-Dade community, we send a tremendous thank you.

Jackson Health System makes history with first COVID-19 vaccine in Miami-Dade County On December 15, 2020, history was made at Jackson Memorial Hospital when the first COVID-19 vaccination was administered in Miami-Dade County. As more vaccines were given, more grandparents could hug their grandchildren for the first time in a year, families could be reunited with their loved ones, and people began to feel a sense of hope for the return to normalcy. With the help and dedication of 1,200 Jackson employees, more than 175,000 people have been vaccinated and nearly 345,000 shots were administered through June 2021. This was one of the most ambitious and challenging public health projects in Jackson’s history, but also one of the most rewarding as it was saving lives. Jackson partnered with trusted organizations such as houses of worship, non-profits, and community groups to get these life-saving shots to seniors in underserved communities. Prior to launching this community-based strategy in January 2021, only about seven percent of the total number of vaccinated people at Jackson identified themselves as Black, but after this initiative, that number grew to 15 percent. Similarly, for Hispanics, the number grew from 46 percent to 56 percent. When the federal government approved the vaccination for children ages 12 and up, Jackson also opened sites throughout Miami-Dade County to vaccinate this population. The work done to combat the virus has been extraordinary and Jackson is proud to have made a direct, life-saving impact on so many members of the South Florida community.

Jackson Health System opens state-of-the-art Lynn Rehabilitation Center The Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial opened in February 2020 and immediately began serving the community. This elite facility builds on the strengths of three world-class medical institutions: Jackson Health System, UHealth – the University of Miami Health System, and The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. Their research is our research. Their breakthroughs are our breakthroughs. And our 250,000-square-foot, 80-bed, fully-equipped, state-of-the-art rehab center is this community’s world-class rehab center. This innovative, world-class facility was designed to be one of the country’s top facilities for patients recovering from traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cancer treatment, and other complex conditions. Our experience and our team - made up of expert UHealth physical medicine physicians and Jackson nurses and therapists - have made an unparalleled impact in advancing rehabilitation care. With this new facility, part of UHealth Jackson Rehabilitation Care, we are dedicated to providing the best care by using leading technology to advance patient recovery. The center was built with comprehensive care in mind. By combining academic research by UHealth physicians and scientists from The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, with the day-to-day care of patients, we can effectively accommodate researchers, families, inpatients, and outpatients. In the heart of Miami, the Lynn Rehabilitation Center hopes to attract people from around the world to serve as a hub for diverse teams of caregivers and patients.

UHealth Jackson Urgent Care receives autism-friendly designation In a year characterized by the challenges of COVID-19, Jackson Health System medical teams continued to serve patients in all areas. We strive to be nationally-recognized as a world-class health system and as the provider of choice for expert care, and we have done exactly that through two major achievements this year. In June 2020, UHealth Jackson Urgent Care centers partnered with University of Miami-Nova Southeastern University Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (UM-NSU CARD) to become the first urgent care network in Florida to earn a nationally recognized autism-friendly designation. This designation signifies that the staff at all five locations have been specially trained to treat patients with autism and related disabilities. All of the centers also have a designated sensory friendly room, giving these patients the opportunity to experience health care in a more comfortable environment.
Miami Transplant Institute #1 in transplants in the U.S. During the 50th year of collaboration between Jackson Health System and the University of Miami Health System (UHealth), the Miami Transplant Institute (MTI) had a record-breaking year, claiming the nation’s top position for performing more organ transplants than any other hospital, according to data released by Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network/United Network for Organ Sharing (OPTN/UNOS). In 2020, MTI did it again, performing 721 life-saving transplants. MTI’s kidney program continues to be the largest in the nation, with 489 transplants done in 2020. Our intestine, liver, pancreas, and combined kidney/pancreas programs each ranked among the top ten in the nation.

Jackson Health Foundation supports the frontline The Jackson Health Foundation works to provide Jackson with the support and resources to excel as a world-class academic medical system, and throughout the pandemic, they did exactly that. With the dedication of the volunteer board of directors and donors, over 20,000 meals were donated to the medical teams fighting on the frontlines, 340,000 pieces of personal protective equipment were donated, they provided iPads so COVID-19 patients could communicate with their families throughout their recovery, and $12.5 million was raised for COVID-19 relief funds. The Foundation also continues to build community ties with events like this year’s inaugural Mind Your Health day to support mental health awareness, the annual Guardian Angels’ luncheon to support Holtz Children’s Hospital, and the Golden Angels Gala.
