Hundreds of community leaders, University of Miami trustees and administrators, donors and other dignitaries recently helped dedicate The Lennar Foundation Medical Center on the Coral Gables campus, ushering in a new world of health care imagined and realized by the University of Miami Health System.
“This is a monumental day for the University of Miami,” said Steven M. Altschuler, M.D., Senior Vice President for Health Affairs and Chief Executive Officer of the University of Miami Health System. “It is truly a transformational moment in the history of the University of Miami Health System, and it’s also the start of a new vision for health care in South Florida. This is a facility, this is a concept that really thinks about the patient first.”
In this new vision for health care, the patient experience is transformed into a journey of being well. “We will know you personally, care for you individually, and guide you uniquely,” Chief Administrative Officer Benjamin J. Riestra says in a video Altschuler showed guests at the event. “This is not just about a new building. More importantly, it’s a new destination, a new experience, a new way of being well.”
