The University of Miami is seeking to acquire land from Miami-Dade County in order to build a medical education building for the Miller School of Medicine.

The nonprofit university wants to purchase 36,410 square feet at 1115 N.W. 14th St. from the county. The land is currently utilized by the Public Health Trust as part of the Jackson Memorial Hospital campus. UM would pay the county $6.21 million, a value based on several third-party appraisals.

UM already has a land lease on the site.

The county’s Community Health Committee was scheduled to vote on the deal on Sept. 11. The County Commission would vote on it on Oct. 3, with a two-thirds approval required.

University Of Miami Breaks Ground On 363,000-SF Healthcare Center

The University of Miami broke ground on a 363,000-square-foot outpatient health care facility at the SoLé Mia project in North Miami.

The nonprofit university’s UHealth first announced plans to build a medical center within the 184-acre development in 2019, but the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic delayed the project. Now, UHealth is moving forward with construction of the 7-story facility, which is slated to open in 2025.

This will be the largest ambulatory health care facility for UHealth, even larger than the Lennar Foundation Medical Center on its Coral Gables campus.

Situated on 10 acres, UHealth SoLé Mia will have 110 exam rooms, 10 operating rooms, 33 cancer treatment rooms, a reflection garden, and a bridge to a neighboring hotel. The site has space for an additional 100,000 square feet for future expansion.

Specialists from UM’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Desai Sethi Urology Institute and other specialty programs will work out of the new facility. It will offer outpatient surgeries, those where patients can be operated on and released within a day.

This comes amid a wave of expansion for UM’s health care programs. It broke ground on a $250 million cancer center expansion in June. It also plans a major outpatient care facility in Downtown Doral.

A New Pediatric Center To Deal With Orthopedic Conditions And Injuries Is Coming To JMH

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.
