Capital Projects
Learn about Jackson Health System’s 10-year capital plan and how it will help us meet the future needs of Miami-Dade residents and patients from around the world.
Overview
Jackson Health System, one of the nation’s largest public health systems, is in the midst of a $1.7 billion, 10-year capital plan that includes new construction projects, the renovation of existing facilities, technology upgrades, cutting-edge equipment, and infrastructure improvements. This “Jackson Miracle-Building Bond Program” is transforming Jackson into a modernized, patient-centered healthcare system that can better meet the future needs of Miami-Dade County residents and patients from around the world who travel to Jackson because of its medical expertise.
Jackson’s capital plan, which is partially supported by $830 million voter-approved bond, passed in November 2013, includes renovations at every Jackson hospital, the opening of multiple urgent care centers across Miami-Dade County, a new Jackson West Medical Center campus in the City of Doral, and the new Christine E. Lynn Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at UHealth/Jackson Memorial.
Every element of the capital plan meets or exceeds Miami-Dade County’s high standards for inclusion, while requiring substantial participation from local certified small business enterprises and employment of local workers. The largest projects also include an innovative mentor-protégé program to help qualified small local businesses learn every element of the construction-management process for major healthcare projects. We believe this program will create a larger and more diverse pool of qualified contractors to fuel the Miami-Dade economy.
