Why is Jackson South's maternity ward closing? Here's what the CEO told leaders
"Jackson Health System CEO Carlos Migoya attributed the maternity ward's closure to a "data-driven" decision following nearly a decade of declining births and increasing demand for other services."
"Migoya emphasized the hospital's responsibility to evaluate operations, stating, "Failing to adapt to these evolving demands would be irresponsible and a disservice to the people who count on us for care.""
The labor and delivery unit at Jackson South will be closing this fall due to nearly a decade of declining births. CEO Carlos Migoya stated that it is a "data-driven" decision made to adapt to changing healthcare demands. Patients will still have access to OB-GYN services for prenatal care, but will need to deliver elsewhere. Jackson South serves as a safety net hospital, offering care regardless of patients' ability to pay, and primarily serves communities in southern Miami-Dade.
