About Us

History
Established in the heart of Miami in 1918, Jackson Memorial Hospital is one of the largest public hospitals in the nation, with more than 1550 beds. Jackson is a safety net hospital that serves Miami-Dade County, including a large indigent and immigrant population that has limited access to health care.

Clinical Sites
Clinical locations include University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center, which is also home to Ryder Trauma Center and Holtz Children’s Hospital, as well as Miami VA Healthcare System, and Holy Cross Health.

Our New Emergency Department
A $300 million renovation will transform the current 48,000 square foot emergency department to a state-of-the-art facility spanning 178,800 square feet, making it one of the largest in the nation. The reimagined emergency room will be a role model facility in quality, efficiency, and experience. Key enhancements to improve the patient experience include more than 200 patient rooms, a fast-track triage to reduce wait times, 50 observation rooms, six resuscitation rooms, and enhanced privacy for loved ones to be near patient care areas with family lounges and waiting areas.
The existing emergency room will undergo renovations to match the aesthetic of the new facility, which upon completion, will stand as one of the largest emergency rooms in the nation. Notably, the new facility will have separate entrances on Northwest 19th Street for adults, and Northwest 18th Street for pediatric patients. The pediatric area, within the facility, will have 30 rooms, a child-friendly environment, and a dedicated lobby and registration area. The new facility is slated to be completed in 2025 and the existing emergency room’s transformation will be completed in 2027.
