Children in South Florida are frequently taken out of state or across county lines for specialized medical care unavailable locally. A new initiative aims to develop a comprehensive pediatric healthcare system in the region, inspired by successful models like Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. This would involve partnerships among local hospitals like Nicklaus Children's Health System and Broward Health to improve specialized pediatric care access. An initial step has begun with Nicklaus Children's Hospital's new partnership to serve as the pediatric provider for Broward Health's Salah Foundation Children's Hospital.
I want children in the community to have the best specialty care accessible to them anywhere they are. We look at the future and we're talking about a bigger picture for children's health, so a Children's Hospital of Florida, concept. That's the right model. That's the model that's been established around the country.
The first step toward this model is underway: Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami is crossing the county line in a significant way to partner with Broward Health. As part of a recently approved affiliation agreement, Nicklaus Children's Health System is set to become the pediatric provider of Broward Health's Salah Foundation Children's Hospital.
