Baptist Health recently celebrated the ribbon-cutting of its new emergency room (ER) in Miami Lakes, marking a significant expansion of emergency care in the community. The 19,700-square-foot facility, which will operate as a department of Baptist Health Doctors Hospital, is now open 24/7.
Nancy Batista-Rodriguez, CEO of Baptist Outpatient Services, led the ceremony, joined by Baptist Health leadership, city officials, and esteemed medical professionals. Attendees had the opportunity to tour the facility, featuring 20 exam rooms, a dedicated triage area, advanced imaging services, including CT scans, ultrasounds, and x-rays, as well as an on-site laboratory and pharmacy – all designed to streamline emergency care.
This state-of-the-art facility will bring exceptional, personalized care closer to home for this community, ensuring patients can receive convenient, high-quality treatment when they need it the most. This new location will complement existing Baptist Health services in the area, including Baptist Health Urgent Care and Baptist Health Virtual Urgent Care on the mobile PineApp.
