As the first center of its kind in the region, it reflects a commitment to meet the needs of women, who currently make up 65 percent of Miami Cancer Institute’s patients.

UHealth is building a seven-story medical center in North Miami-Dade, part of a mega-development of residential towers.
The idea is to take healthcare to a growing population in a dense area that includes Aventura, North Miami Beach and North Miami, said Dr. Dipen Parekh, the chief operating officer of the University of Miami Health System.
The medical center — not a hospital but an outpatient facility that can provide primary and specialty care for conditions including cancer, cardiac problems and eye disorders — is still under construction.
The center is UHealth’s largest outpatient medical facility at 363,000-square-feet, comprising 110 exam rooms, 10 operating rooms, and 33 clinical cancer treatment units. The center is expected to open in June 2025 and will be open daily. You don’t have to live at SoLé Mia to get care.
On Friday, UHealth, North Miami and other officials celebrated a construction milestone of the new center, which North Miami Mayor Alix Desulme says will usher in a “new era” of health for the community. Officials say the center is also expected to bring jobs to the area.
The center, just off Biscayne Boulevard near the Biscayne Bay campus of Florida International University, is part of a new vertical city. SoLé Mia is a 184-acre master planned community developed by Oleta Partners – a joint venture by leading developers LeFrak and Turnberry.
