The Lennar Foundation Medical Center Opens to First Patients
|
The first patients - nearly 150 of them - walked through the front door of
The Lennar Foundation Medical Center on
Monday, December 5, entering a new facility and a new world of health care.
The many months of preparation and the extraordinary support of The Lennar Foundation began paying off as the
University of Miami Health System opened this model for future health care delivery - a conveniently located facility where patients are treated as individuals with a superior patient experience and transformational medical care.
Coral Gables campus faculty and staff, students, and residents from throughout South Miami-Dade will find a wide range of the most advanced services - from
Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center,
Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the University of Miami Health System
Sports Medicine Institute, and many other academic medical specialties - under one roof.
"Today in Coral Gables, we show the world what the most convenient, compassionate, comprehensive care looks like - and will look like across the region, as we extend our vision in the coming months and years," said
Steven M. Altschuler, MD, Senior Vice President for Health Affairs and Chief Executive Officer of the University of Miami Health System.

Delray Medical Center First in Florida to Offer Device to Reduce Stroke Risk
|
The PFO Occluder is the only FDA-approved device designed to prevent blood clots from entering the brain by sealing a hole in the heart
Delray Medical Center is now offering a newly approved device designed to help patients diagnosed with a patent foramen ovale (PFO) - a small opening between the upper chambers of the heart. The AMPLATZER PFO Occluder is the first and only FDA-approved device designed to close the PFO and reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic strokes caused by dangerous clots passing between the heart chambers and up to the brain.
"Delray Medical Center is proud to be the first hospital in the state to implant this revolutionary device," said CEO
Mark Bryan. "We make it a priority to invest in new technology that may ultimately prolong patients' lives and enhance their quality of life."
