At just 28, Pamela Carrion has already faced more than most people do in a lifetime.

After living with type 1 diabetes since birth, Pamela entered kidney failure as a teenager, endured years of dialysis, and faced complications that reshaped her future. Her journey brought her to Miami Transplant Institute, where a dedicated multidisciplinary transplant team stood by her every step of the way.

Under the care of Mariella Ortigosa-Goggins, MD, medical director of the kidney/pancreas transplant program, Pamela underwent not one, but two, kidney and pancreas transplants at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Today, more than a year after her second transplant, Pamela is living independently, caring for her pets, going to the gym, and reclaiming her life.

💬 “It’s not about focusing on what you don’t have,” Pamela says. “Try to replace your losses with wins instead.”

After nearly 15 years of dedicated leadership, Carlos Migoya announced that his tenure as CEO of Jackson Health System will end on May 31. He will leave behind a legacy of transformation that will be felt for generations. Since taking on the role in 2011, his visionary leadership and deep commitment to this community helped transform Jackson into a health system defined by modern facilities, compassionate care, and an extraordinary team of professionals. More than buildings or milestones, his impact is seen in the lives changed and the trust built across our community. Thank you, Carlos, for your leadership, heart, and steadfast commitment to Jackson and the health of our community.

When one chapter closes, another one opens. David Zambrana, who started his career as a nurse at Jackson Memorial Hospital and today serves as Jackson's president and chief operating officer, was named Jackson's next CEO. For the last six years, Carlos has worked alongside David, preparing him for this transition.

“He's the most prepared leader in Jackson’s 107-year history,” Carlos said. “The trust and respect our teams already feel for David make him, hands-down, the best choice for our future.”

January is , a time to bring visibility to behaviors that are often minimized or misunderstood.

Stalking can look different for everyone, but it often involves repeated boundary violations meant to create fear, control, or distress. Recognizing the red flags early can help protect yourself or someone you care about. If something doesn’t feel right, trust that feeling.

Support and confidential help are available. If you or someone you know is experiencing stalking, reach out to our 24/7 Crisis & Sexual Assault Helpline: 305-585-RAPE (7273)

Your safety matters.

From recovery to the finish line. 💪🏁

Through recreational therapy and adapted sports at Lynn Rehabilitation Center, patients are building independence and getting back to the activities they love.

Recreational therapist Ashley Herrera is working alongside athletes as they train for the half-marathon, including John Marquez, a Team USA para triathlete who discovered adapted sports during his rehab journey after a spinal cord injury. What began as part of his recovery became a passion and a path back to competition.

It’s about more than crossing a finish line. It’s about rebuilding strength, setting new goals, and realizing what’s possible. ✨

After years of battling liver disease and recurring liver cancer, Brien Costigan's condition had reached a critical point. His care team at Miami Transplant Institute knew a transplant was his best chance.

In October 2025, Brien was placed on the transplant list, and just two days later, the life-changing call came in. A donor liver was available.

His surgery not only marked a new beginning for Brien, it also became a historic moment for MTI as it surpassed 5,000 liver transplants since 1988, making us one of only five centers nationwide to reach this achievement.

"It's more than just a number," says Dr. Eric Martin, medical director of liver transplant at MTI. "It represents the thousands of lives and families impacted by organ donation balanced by the second chance of life it offers the recipients."

Today, Brien is cancer-free, spending time with family and cheering on his beloved Green Bay Packers.

“From the moment we walked into the hospital to the moment I walked out, everyone was fantastic,” Brien shared. “It’s a gift from God, and we’re so blessed to have had this opportunity.”
