The Public Health Trust recently approved the proposed acquisition of Parkway Regional Medical Center in North Miami Beach from Tenet Healthcare Corporation. Jackson Health System has entered into a definitive agreement with Tenet, which is subject to the approval of the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners.

Jordan, District 1, Miami-Dade County; Ernesto de la Fé, vice chairman, Public Health Trust Board of Trustees; Kathy S. Siegler, Ed.D., member, Public Health Trust Board of Trustees; Georgena D. Ford, R.N., member, Public Health Trust Board of Trustees; and Larry R. Handfield, Esq., chairman, Public Health Trust Board of Trustees, posed for a picture after the press conference that announced Jacksons proposed acquisition of Parkway Regional Medical Center.
The expansion of Jackson into north Miami-Dade enables Jackson Health System to provide medical care to residents throughout the county by adding capacity to its main campus hospital in downtown Miami and to Jackson South Community Hospital. It is anticipated to take several months to complete the purchase and transition Parkway Regional Medical Center into the Jackson Health System.
“The benefits of this expansion are compelling, beginning with the ability to increase our marginthat is, the number of funded patients that we servein order to support our mission of providing care to all Miami-Dade residents, regardless of their ability to pay,” said Marvin OQuinn, president and CEO of the Jackson Health System/Public Health Trust. “In addition, it gives us the capacity, such as hospital beds and operating/exam rooms, to better handle our current and growing demand.”
