Jackson Memorial Hospital

Jackson Memorial Hospital (often abbreviated as JMH), commonly referred to simply as “Jackson,” is one of the oldest medical facilities in Miami-Dade County, located in the Miami Health District, also known as the Civic Center. It was founded in 1918 and initially had only 13 beds. Over the course of a century, Jackson Memorial Hospital has grown into the county’s largest general hospital, with 1,550 beds. It serves as the teaching hospital for the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine. In 2015, Jackson Memorial Hospital received one out of a possible five stars based on the results of the Medicare.gov Hospital Compare survey.

The maternity ward at Jackson Memorial handles 6,500 births per year. Experienced specialists, modern equipment, and comfortable rooms—these are all the “pros” of the hospital that make it a popular choice for childbirth.

Several years ago, Jackson Memorial Hospital underwent a renovation of its maternity ward, marking the beginning of a “new era” for both the medical staff and patients. Not only was the interior updated, but the delivery rooms, pre-delivery, and post-delivery wards were also equipped with new facilities. There are five new operating rooms equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for performing cesarean sections. The neonatal intensive care unit has 126 beds and is ready around the clock to admit babies born prematurely or with complications.
The postpartum rooms have become even more comfortable and tailored to the needs of both mother and baby. In the cozy family gathering area, affectionately called the “dad lounge,” dads, siblings, relatives, and friends who have come to visit the mother and newborn can relax, play, or, if needed, work on a computer.
New educational classes for parents have been introduced, featuring lectures on breastfeeding, childcare, and parenting.
At Jackson Memorial Hospital, there is a tradition of throwing a small celebration with cake for mothers and their babies before they are discharged from the hospital. All of this makes the stay at JMH positive, memorable, and unforgettable.
