Our Facilities

Building the Future

For over 70 years, Nicklaus Children’s, the region’s only health system for children, has been a leader in pediatric care. Today, we continue to pioneer innovative procedures inside state-of-the-art facilities like our Advanced Pediatric Care Pavilion. This six-story, future-focused tower houses the hospital's three intensive care units, as well as the neurology-neurosurgery unit and hematology-oncology unit among other patient and family-centered care enhancements. Nicklaus Children’s Hospital also has many outpatient and urgent care centers throughout South Florida, including on-demand virtual care.

Building the future goes beyond our facilities. It’s important that we work with and listen closely to our patients, families and communities to identify and act on what they truly care about. We also need to increase our capacity for resiliency and constantly innovate in order to thrive in a changing landscape.

One of the things I enjoy most about working for this organization is the collaboration amongst the departments. We all work together towards one common goal – commitment to our patients and their families. Personally, I have been able to grow professionally into a new role in a very short time and I thank my leaders who saw my potential and gave me the opportunity to use my skills in a different position. A great organization to work for!
