Jupiter Medical Center and Miami Children's Hospital to Partner

November 19, 2013

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 19, 2013

JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER AND MIAMI CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL TO PARTNER

Enhancing Patient Access to World-Class Pediatric Care

JUPITER, Fla. – Jupiter Medical Center (JMC) and Miami Children’s Hospital (MCH) today announced a partnership to make Miami Children’s Hospital the pediatric partner for Jupiter Medical Center. The partnership will take shape in two phases over the next two years. By working together, Jupiter Medical Center and Miami Children’s Hospital are enhancing the world-class pediatric clinical services and programs currently offered to the community at the Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Outpatient Center in Palm Beach Gardens and in the private pediatric practices throughout the county.

“Miami Children’s Hospital is pleased to partner with Jupiter Medical Center as part of our commitment to be where the children are in South Florida. This new affiliation with Jupiter Medical Center – a leader in adult healthcare quality and service excellence – builds on the vision of the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation to expand access for children and families in need of specialized care and assessment,” said M. Narendra Kini, MD, MHA, President and CEO of Miami Children’s Hospital.


“Jupiter Medical Center and Miami Children’s Hospital are very similar institutions – we have similar cultures, similar values and beliefs, and a similar dedication to provide world-class quality and excellent patient care,” said John Couris, President and CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. “Together, through our partnership with Miami Children’s Hospital, we can bridge the gap from world-class adult healthcare, to world-class pediatric healthcare, where our entire community benefits.”

The first phase of the partnership, which will be implemented over the next six months, includes implementing telehealth technology in Jupiter Medical Center’s Emergency Department. Telehealth will allow Miami Children’s Hospital physicians to interact with Jupiter Medical Center’s physicians and patients remotely, giving them the ability to review images, lab results, and capture vital assessment information in real time. Future plans include the addition of a rotation of Miami Children’s Hospital Pediatric Emergency Physicians onsite in Jupiter Medical Center’s Emergency Room, as well.


In addition to telehealth, plans include partnering on Jupiter Medical Center’s Urgent Care Center, offering adult and pediatric care urgent care at JMC’s Jupiter facility. The organizations will combine their pediatric therapy programs, housing the program at the MCH Nicklaus Outpatient Center. The organizations will also partner on pediatric imaging services, as well as outpatient surgical procedures in ENT and urology.

The second phase of the partnership will focus on implementing a Level 2 NICU and an inpatient pediatric wing at Jupiter Medical Center.

About the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation

The Nicklaus family founded the Nicklaus Children's Health Care Foundation in 2004 for a simple reason: to help kids in the community where the family has lived and worked for decades. The Foundation has grown from a vision to reality, providing charitable services for children's health care. The Foundation's mission is to provide access to world-class health care for all children and support innovative programs focused on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of childhood illness. In 2010, the Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Care Center opened in Loxahatchee offering an array of sub-specialty services for children with special needs. The Foundation’s most recent project was the opening of the Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Outpatient Center in Palm Beach Gardens which provides pediatric rehabilitative services, diagnostics, imaging, sub-specialty physician services and after-hours urgent care.
