The $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.

MIAMI, FL, JANUARY 31, 2024 – On Tuesday, January 23, 2024, Jackson Health System and Jackson Health Foundation, joined by dignitaries, philanthropists, and members of Jackson’s clinical care team, broke ground on Jackson Memorial Hospital’s new emergency room. The event highlighted Jackson’s remarkable progress over the past decade and unveiled key features that will distinguish the new emergency room as a state-of-the-art facility. Carlos Migoya, president and chief executive officer of Jackson Health System, Hamilton Clark, senior vice president and chief executive officer of Jackson Memorial Hospital, and Flavia Llizo, co-president and chief development officer of Jackson Health Foundation, discussed the expansion’s significance, its potential community impact, and the collaborative efforts that made it possible. 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.

BROWARD HEART PROJECT SAVES LIVES

February 8, 2024 – Before his heart scan in October 2023, Andrew Cooper, a 57-year-old Davie resident, didn’t think he had any health concerns. But then a surprise diagnosis changed his life.

“I felt like I was in pretty good shape,” said Andrew, a former engineering manager, who worked in the medical device industry. “My weight and my recent vitals and cholesterol were all good. I get about six hours of exercise in a typical week, including mountain biking at Markham Park.”

However, his wife, Colette, a nurse at Broward Health Medical Center, urged him to visit a cardiologist due to his family history of heart disease.

So Andrew went to see cardiologist Kenneth H. Zelnick, M.D. While there were no red flags at the appointment, Dr. Zelnick told him about the Broward Heart Project. This Broward County initiative provides free cardiac CT screening tests to qualifying residents, enabling doctors to identify potentially life-threatening conditions that might otherwise go undetected.

NCH IS FIRST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES TO LAUNCH SENSORATM CARDIAC DISEASE DETECTION PLATFORM

Naples, FL., February 8, 2024 – NCH has expanded its cardiac program with new artificial intelligence technology that will help detect heart valve disease earlier – and is the first healthcare system in the U.S. to do so. Using the SENSORA™ Cardiac Disease Detection Platform by Eko Health, NCH Medical Group primary care physicians can more accurately and consistently identify structural heart murmurs indicative of valvular heart disease (VHD) during routine primary care visits.

While your healthcare team listens to your heart with an Eko digital stethoscope, SENSORA™ easily and quickly collects data that helps detect VHD — a life-threatening condition diagnosed in more than 8 million Americans.

Older adults have approximately a 1 in 10 chance of developing clinically significant VHD, but more than half (57%) goes undetected. Left undetected and untreated, VHD can lead to heart failure, stroke, blood clots, and death. SENSORA™ helps our physicians determine if patients should be referred for additional testing or to a specialist for further evaluation and treatment. By detecting valve disease earlier, NCH can treat patients sooner and ultimately save more lives.

SMH’S NEW RESEARCH & EDUCATION INSTITUTE REACHES HALFWAY POINT IN CONSTRUCTION

February 8, 2024 – Sarasota Memorial and members of their design/build team are celebrating an important milestone this week – the official “topping out” of the five-story, $75 million Kolschowsky Research & Education Institute.

The topping out is part of an age-old ritual that signifies that the new facility, located 1880 Arlington Street where the old Doctors Gardens medical office building used to stand, has reached its maximum height, in this case 82 feet.

“It’s an inspirational point for the workers who have toiled through months of extreme heat and rains to reach this important phase of construction,” said Sarasota Memorial CEO David Verinder. “It’s also a milestone for our health system and community. It means we have reached the halfway point and soon will begin layering in the many interior and exterior design features that will bring Sarasota Memorial’s Kolschowsky Research & Education Institute to life.”

PIONEERING CLINICAL TRIAL FOR TREATMENT OF AFIB LAUNCHES AT HCA FLORIDA MERCY HOSPITAL IN MIAMI

The pulsed field ablation procedure holds the promise of becoming the new gold standard for treating AFib due to its safety and efficacy.

Miami, FL February 9, 2024 – HCA Florida Mercy Hospital, a 488-bed facility, and part of HCA Florida Healthcare, the largest healthcare system in the state, is the site of the first clinical trial for pulsed field ablation in Miami. A pulsed field ablation, or PFA, is a minimally-invasive intervention for treating patients suffering from atrial fibrillation, or AFib. The first procedures were performed this week at HCA Florida Mercy Hospital by Dr. Jose Osorio, the medical director of cardiac electrophysiology at HCA Florida Miami Electrophysiology, as part of several clinical research studies on the new intervention expected to be widely available in the United States soon.

In treating AFib, pulsed field ablation utilizes a controlled electric field to selectively ablate cardiac tissue that is causing irregular heartbeats. This new treatment method has been shown to minimize the risk of damage to surrounding tissues. This is because pulsed field ablation disables cardiac cells using electricity rather than extreme temperatures used in the traditional approaches. Further, the technology allows ablation procedures to be performed in less time.

NEW DIRECT LINKS DISCOVERED BETWEEN THE BRAIN AND ITS SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT

Fluid containing light-emitting molecules was seen to slip through the arachnoid barrier where blood vessels passed through.NINDS

NIH collaboration has implications for neural-immune system responses and aging.

February 7, 2024 – In a recent study of the brain’s waste drainage system, researchers from Washington University in St. Louis, collaborating with investigators at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a part of the National Institute of Health (NIH), discovered a direct connection between the brain and its tough protective covering, the dura mater. These links may allow waste fluid to leave the brain while also exposing the brain to immune cells and other signals coming from the dura. This challenges the conventional wisdom which has suggested that the brain is cut off from its surroundings by a series of protective barriers, keeping it safe from dangerous chemicals and toxins lurking in the environment.
