At Nicklaus Children’s Health System, we understand that children are the future of our communities. That is why our mission is to inspire hope and promote lifelong health by providing the best care to every child. It is a bold mission that is of utmost importance to everyone at Nicklaus Children’s. With the rapid population growth in South Florida, it is imperative that we steadily expand our services, ensuring that families don’t have to travel long distances for world-class care. Instead, patients and their families have access to the care they need and deserve, right here in South Florida.
To ensure every child has access to the care our pediatric professionals provide, Nicklaus Children’s has been expanding its footprint beyond Miami-Dade County over the past years. An important aspect of increasing access has been forming and expanding collaborations across the region. “Our number one priority is to ensure that the patients and families we serve have access to the best care, no matter where they are,” said Matthew A. Love, president and CEO of Nicklaus Children’s Health System.
By collaborating with other healthcare organizations across the state, we have been able to significantly increase access to our services. One such collaboration is with Baptist Health of South Florida, which has helped extend pediatric emergency care options for families throughout the region. In late 2024, we announced our intent to enter into a new affiliation with Broward Health, another important milestone in our quest to expand access to pediatric healthcare across South Florida. “This affiliation will allow us to care for even more children, expanding our growing footprint in Broward County,” said Love. For families in Broward, this collaboration means they will receive access to even more high-quality, specialized pediatric inpatient care at local facilities in Broward, without needing to travel to Miami. “It’s about convenience and access to care that meets the highest standards in pediatric healthcare,” Love said.
Our singular focus has been to expand access beyond Nicklaus Children’s primary hospital and facilities in Miami-Dade. That is because we are more than just a healthcare facility—we are a place of collaboration, hope, innovation, and healing. With our focus on growth and strategic partnerships, we strive to remain at the forefront of excellence in pediatric care for generations to come. As we continue to evolve and grow, we will always stay true to our goal of being the place where your child matters most, whether that is in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond.
