We Are Here to Serve YOU!
Patient- and Family-Centered Care is the guiding light at University of Miami Health System. A model of providing care that recognizes and respects the uniqueness of each family and empowers families to collaborate with health care providers. Fundamentally, patient-centeredness is about doing everything with the patient, not for or to. We ask the patient what is important to them.
We strive to provide exceptional and kindhearted service and healthcare throughout the patient journey. Putting patients first involves more than excellent clinical care – it requires addressing every aspect of a patient’s encounter with UHealth, including the patient’s physical comfort, as well as their educational, emotional, and spiritual needs.
