Newest Acute Care Hospital in Miami-Dade Opens

Promise Healthcare expands its industry presence to 19 facilities in eight states with the grand opening of its first hospital built and managed in South Florida. The $30 million, free-standing 56,000-square-foot, 60-bed, all-private-room LTAC hospital will serve physicians and their patients living and working in northern Miami-Dade and southern Broward counties, including communities in Miami Lakes, Hialeah, Palm Springs, Doral, Miramar, Pembroke Pines and Weston. When fully staffed, Promise’s entry into Miami-Dade will create more than 150 new jobs for the area.

 

Corporate and senior management from the new Promise Hospital of Miami were joined by area government and healthcare industry officials, management of surrounding hospitals, physicians and other healthcare professionals and business and community leaders for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by the first public tours.

 

Promise Hospital of Miami features all private rooms with 60 telemetry beds for patient monitoring while in rooms or during mobile transport and private showers; 52 med/surg beds; an eight-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU), four isolation rooms and a fully outfitted operating room suite with pre- and post-op anesthesia areas and full sterilization capabilities available to physicians to use should their patients admitted to Promise require them to perform interim surgical procedures during their hospital stay. Patient rooms feature ‘Teknoflor’ which has imbedded Nano-Silver technology that is anti-microbial and anti-fungal and provides other safety features that help to minimize potential patient and staff slipping/falling incidents.  

 

The hospital’s Physical and Occupational Therapy Gym – which features a full kitchen, complete with working stove, sink and dishwasher and appliances such as a washer and dryer – is designed for therapists to help patients enhance their independence level by training them in cooking,

personal hygiene, grooming, and other activities of daily living. It is where patients work to regain strength and endurance as well as interact with other patients to enhance motivation.

 

There is also a full-service in-house pharmacy, a Physicians Lounge And Dictation Area that provides physicians with a comfortable, functional private setting while charting or dictating their medical records; a private residence-style physician room with bed, private bathroom, and amenities that provides physicians with a respite during late evening calls that require the need for a physician to remain on-site; a family consulting room for private consultations with physicians; a multi-media room is available for training and education instruction; and a cafeteria is open to physicians, staff and visitors.
