The verification process, based on standards established by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, confirms that the facility maintains the resources necessary for patients facing complications like severe preeclampsia, placenta disorders, or pre-existing chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. By integrating experts in neonatology, anesthesia, and maternal-fetal medicine, the hospital aims to provide a seamless continuity of care for both mother and child.
Memorial Hospital Miramar Gains Level III Maternal Care Verification
One of only two facilities in South Florida to earn the distinction, Memorial Hospital Miramar has secured a Level III Maternal Levels of Care designation from the Joint Commission. The certification validates the hospital’s capacity to manage complex, high-risk pregnancies through specialized on-site medical teams and advanced clinical infrastructure.
Alberto Garcia, Chief Nursing Officer at the facility, noted that the designation underscores a strategic commitment to high-acuity care. For families, the verification functions as a safeguard, ensuring immediate access to lifesaving interventions when unexpected medical challenges arise during or after pregnancy. Nursing Director Gessy Targete-Johnson emphasized that the recognition reflects a long-term promise to support patients from initial prenatal visits through complex deliveries, prioritizing safety and clinical precision in every phase of the birth experience.
