There's no bigger act of generosity than saving someone's life.

We're sharing a glimpse into a powerful conversation with Sean Chavis and Dr. Rodrigo Vianna from the Miami Transplant Institute on what organ donation truly means for donors, recipients, and the families forever connected by this gift.

"In your last hour, you saved a lot of people." That's not just a phrase. That's someone's reality.

More than 100,000 people in the U.S. are currently waiting for a lifesaving transplant. Registering as a donor is a small decision that can leave a lasting legacy for someone else.

You can register at your local DMV

Our name was among the stars on Friday night. Today, a new chapter begins. ✨

What started as a spectacular night over downtown Miami was more than a celebration; it was a moment to come together and mark the opening of Jackson Memorial Hospital’s new emergency room. Seeing so many of our neighbors, families, and longtime supporters gathered together was a powerful reminder of who this was built for.

Today, we open our doors.

This next era of emergency care was built for our community, expanding access, capacity, and the care families rely on when it matters most.

Thank you for celebrating this milestone with us, Miami. đź’™

One year ago today, 18-year-old Neamiah Johnson's life changed in an instant.

Shot four times in a drive-by shooting outside his family's home, Neamiah arrived at Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital unable to feel his legs.

The trauma surgery team, with Dr. Julie Valenzuela, acted quickly, addressing a torn liver, lung injuries, and internal bleeding. Through Jackson's Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program, social worker Kawanakee Thompkins ensured Neamiah and his family had safe housing and the support they needed during one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

From the ICU, Neamiah transferred to Lynn Rehab Center, where physical therapist Logan Waller and the rehab team set one goal above all others, getting him home in time for graduation. They made it. 🎓

Now 19, Neamiah is in college studying psychology, driving again, and moving forward with the same smile his care team fell in love with from day one. đź’™

đź’¬ "This is an amazing hospital, they really played a part in how my mindset is. They saved my life. I'm just blessed for everybody."

Behind every milestone is a team that made it possible. đź’™

Before opening our doors to the community, we welcomed the people who built this moment – our Jackson Memorial Hospital emergency room team, the teams who helped bring the space to life, and their loved ones – for an exclusive family day.

From walking the halls to exploring new areas, it was a chance to celebrate what we’ve accomplished together and what’s ahead.

Jackson Memorial’s new ER is more than a building. It’s the people behind it showing up every day with the compassion, expertise, and dedication our community deserves.

The future of emergency care starts here. Opening April 23. 🎉

Black maternal health remains a critical issue, with Black women facing higher risks of pregnancy-related complications. That's why strengthening support across the entire maternity journey matters so much.

Sharmane Andrews, chief nursing officer at Holtz Children's Hospital and The Women's Hospital a Jackson Memorial, shares how Jackson is expanding support for Black mothers through key programs and partnerships.

💜 RHISE — Our telehealth maternity program connects high-risk moms to a full care team, including nurse navigators, social workers, doulas, mental health support, and lactation specialists. Patients receive monitoring and guidance from home during pregnancy and up to 12 months postpartum.

💜 Doula collaboration — We welcome doulas into our hospitals as partners in care, helping provide trusted support and advocacy alongside our clinical teams.

These efforts reflect a continued focus on improving outcomes and strengthening support for Black mothers in our community.

A daughter's gift gave her father a second chance at life. đź’™

When Steven Rushefsky, 71, was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease, Michelle's world shifted overnight. As his condition progressed to end-stage renal disease, the family had two options. A three to five-year wait for a deceased donor, or finding a living match. Michelle didn't hesitate to volunteer.

With the guidance and support of Dr. Giselle Guerra, medical director of the Living Kidney Donor Program at Miami Transplant Institute, both father and daughter checked in together on September 1, 2022, and came out the other side of something extraordinary.

Today, Steven is back to riding his Harley-Davidson, cooking, and living life to the fullest. And Michelle says she'd do it all over again for her best friend.

“MTI is a team of really good people who supported us along the way,” Michelle said. “I would 1,000 percent do it again for my dad.”
