“If it happened first in Florida, it probably happened at Jackson Health System,” said Jackson Health spokesperson Edwin O’Dell. “Jackson is about caring for the people of Miami-Dade County.”
Over the last 100 years, the hospital has grown from a small facility with 13 beds to the nation’s largest health system, with more than 21,000 beds across six hospitals and multiple care centers.
