On Friday, Jackson Health System announced plans for the Shriners Children’s Orthopedic Center at its health district campus. The center, a partnership with the University of Miami and Shriners Children’s Florida, which runs the Tampa hospital, will house all pediatric orthopedic care when it opens in 2025.

The partnership started a year and a half ago, said Daniel Armstrong, director of the UM Mailman Center for Child Development. The CEO of the Tampa Shriners hospital approached him about collaborating in Miami.

The orthopedic center will be located east of Northwest 12th Avenue at Northwest 16th Street, steps from Holtz Children’s Hospital and the new Ronald McDonald House.

“Just like the exceptional care I received from Shriners Children’s Florida, the Shriners Orthopedic Center at Jackson will offer hope and healing to children all around South Florida,” Solano said.

The center, Armstrong said, will allow Jackson to provide orthopedic care and rehabilitation while also addressing the developmental needs of kids with conditions like cerebral palsy. It will enhance physical and occupational therapy and fill in some of the services Jackson has difficulty providing.

“We’ll be able to provide comprehensive care to all children, but we’ll be able to do it in a highly integrated one-stop coordinated fashion,” he said. The grant from Shriners Children’s Florida will build a pediatric orthopedics program that can treat both conditions like muscular dystrophy and traumatic injuries, said Carlos Migoya, CEO of Jackson Health System.

University Of Miami Plans New Cancer Center Tower

UM Cancer Tower 760x320

The University of Miami submitted plans for a new cancer research tower at its medical campus in Miami.

The Coral Gables-based university submitted a municipal pre-application to Miami-Dade County officials so they can review the site plan before it heads to the city. The new facility would total 222,000 square feet in 11 stories.

It would be located on the 1.78-acre site at 1420 N.W. Ninth Ave., which currently has the 22,879-square-foot UM Neurological Research Building and another UM medical office of 22,483 square feet. Both of them would be demolished to make way for this project.

The new UM cancer center would have 167,000 square feet for cancer research and 55,000 square feet for clinical trials, plus a roof deck. There would be no parking garage, but the site would have about 43 surface parking spaces and UM owns several parking garages at its medical campus.

Jackson Memorial Hospital Files Building Permit For $174 Million Rehab Center

Jackson Memorial Hospital is moving forward with its plans to build a $174 million paralysis rehabilitation hospital on its Miami Health District campus.
Jackson submitted a building permit for the Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center For The Miami Project To Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial Medical Center, according to the city of Miami’s building department. The permit is pending approval.
In February, the hospital began knocking down the Institute and Institute Annex buildings on the west side of the Jackson campus at 1611 Northwest 12th Avenue in Allapattah, according to a press release. The new 10-story, 225,000-square-foot building is expected to open in 2020.
The hospital, which nearly went bankrupt in 2011, will fund construction with a $25 million donation from health care philanthropist Christine E. Lynn and part of an $830 million general bond obligation Miami-Dade County voters passed in 2013. The bond included about $500 million for construction.
The rehab center will feature a 100-bed private-room facility and clinical care and research done with the University of Miami.
