Jackson Memorial Health has announced plans to open an urgent care center in Miami Gardens.
Responding to the need of the “many insured families” in the area, the company said the new center will be added to the existing North Dade Health center, which currently does not accept walk-in patients.
The urgent care center is the fifth announced by Jackson Health this year, and it likely will be paid for with a portion of the $830 million in taxpayer funds that Miami-Dade voters approved in November 2013.
