| Project Description: |
| Currently, Jackson is one of 6 statutory teaching hospitals, on the cutting edge of technology and research that benefits all Floridians regardless of ability to pay. Without this funding, many of these statewide programs, such as trauma, transplant, neonatal intensive care and others, are in jeopardy, which in turn can have a life or death impact on countless Floridians. |

| Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? |
No |

| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Continued access to excellent quality of care in service areas that are often unavailable elsewhere in the State or even in the Nation. This funding would demonstrate a firm commitment by the state to access and quality in one of the State's premiere healthcare facilities that serves a dual role - an academic medical center and Miami-Dade County's only safety net hospital. |
