On August 18, 2026, The Women’s Hospital at Jackson Memorial Medical Center, in partnership with Jackson Health Foundation, celebrated the Karlie Kloss Center for Maternal Health, a newly renovated space designed to provide pregnant patients across South Florida with timely, specialized obstetrical care in a modern, welcoming, and supportive environment. The Center includes a newly renovated Obstetric Emergency Room (OB-ER) and was made possible through a philanthropic gift from supermodel, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and former patient Karlie Kloss and her husband, Joshua Kushner.

The reimagined Karlie Kloss Center for Maternal Health is designed around the needs of pregnant patients and families, particularly during urgent and vulnerable moments of pregnancy. It features updated patient rooms, enhanced clinical spaces, and an improved clinical environment, designed to support timely, specialized care supporting over 4,300 babies and families a year with greater comfort, privacy, and dignity throughout their experience.

Kloss, who delivered her children at The Women’s Hospital at Jackson Memorial, chose to support the renovation as a way to give back to the health system that cared for her family, while helping ensure future generations of mothers receive exceptional care in an environment that reflects the world-class expertise of Jackson’s maternity teams.

“Jackson Memorial will forever be woven into the story of our family. It’s where Josh and I welcomed all three of our children, and where we experienced firsthand the extraordinary compassion, expertise, and care of this remarkable team,” Kloss said. “We are deeply honored to give back to a place that has given our family so much, and to help create a space where mothers and families across South Florida can feel safe, seen, supported, and cared for during some of life’s most meaningful and vulnerable moments.”

The opening of the Karlie Kloss Center for Maternal Health is the latest investment in The Women’s Hospital at Jackson Memorial’s nationally recognized maternity program.
