About
Jackson Memorial Hospital
As South Florida's major tertiary hospital, Jackson Memorial cares for the
region's sickest and most critically injured patients. Among its many outstanding services
are:
The Ryder Trauma Center is the only adult and pediatric Level I trauma center in the region.
The UM/JM Burn Center is one of the nation's largest serving burn patients of all ages.
Jackson's Newborn Special Care Center is Florida's largest Level III intensive care unit serving only the
smallest, most fragile babies.
The Transplant Center performs heart, kidney, liver, lung, pancreas and transplants of mutliple
organs. The Cardiac Center for adults and children pioneers new treatment techniques with
special emphasis on rhythm disturbances.
The Rehabilitation Center is one of only 17 in the nation designated as a Regional Spinal Cord Injury
Center.
Amidst all this advanced treatment, Jackson Memorial also holds a strong belief in the
rights of its patients. It advocates a detailed Patient's Bill of Rights and
Responsibilities. It has a well-developed Advanced Directives Program that recognizes a
person's medical card as his or her advanced directive. Once that information is entered
in the hospital's computerized tracking system, it follows the patient forever. |
