Jackson Memorial Hospital Emergency Room of Miami

Jackson Memorial Hospital Emergency Room of Miami is an emergency room in Miami, FL. It operates within Jackson Health System, the most comprehensive healthcare provider in South Florida. The facility is part of a broader health system that provides medical care to children and adults in South Florida and the global community. The new emergency room is transforming emergency care in Miami-Dade County, with phases two and three expanding pediatric emergency services, behavioral health care, clinical space, and rapid response capabilities. The health system is supported by Jackson Health Foundation, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization established in 1991. The Foundation serves as the private fundraising arm for the health system, helping to fill gaps in major capital projects and programmatic needs that cannot be financed by public bond support. It was originally named Jackson Memorial Foundation and was renamed in 2014 to align more closely with the Jackson Health System. The Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors comprised of community leaders, executives, business leaders, healthcare professionals, and hospital administrators.

The history of the hospital dates back to June 25, 1918, when the new City Miami Hospital opened its doors. Decades later, organized fundraising in support of the hospital began, paving the way for the establishment of the foundation. The Foundation’s Area of Greatest Need Fund provides flexible funding for the health system’s greatest needs in patient care, treatment, education, and renovation of facilities and capital projects. These efforts are designed to improve health care delivery, enhance the hospital experience for patients, and promote wellness and preventive medicine. The Foundation also provides educational services, including classes, workshops, presentations, and lectures, to heighten public awareness about the health system’s services and programs. Operating and administrative expenses are approved annually during the budgeting process, with the Foundation spending about 15% of its annual budget on expenses.

The location holds a rating of 2.00 based on 224 reviews. This reflects an established track record built on a large base of customer reviews. The emergency room serves the Miami-Dade County area, providing critical care services within the comprehensive healthcare network of Jackson Health System. The facility continues to evolve with new infrastructure aimed at improving the standard of emergency medicine in the region.
