Life was finally falling into place for Daniel Jackson. The 46-year-old was working toward U.S. citizenship, building a career in telecommunications and cybersecurity, and supporting his children while focusing on his health and future.

On June 7, 2025, everything changed.

Daniel suffered a nearly fatal heart attack while at the gym. After receiving CPR from a bystander, he was hospitalized near his home and later transferred to Jackson Memorial Hospital in critical condition.

Under the care of Dr. Omar Wever-Pinzon, medical director of advanced heart failure at Miami Transplant Institute, and Dr. Jeffrey Scott, chief of critical care at Jackson Memorial, his team worked urgently to stabilize his heart and support multiple failing organs.

After weeks in intensive care, Daniel woke to the first signs of recovery. As his heart responded to treatment, he was able to move forward without a transplant.

After 74 days in the hospital and rehabilitation, Daniel returned home, and by September, he was back at work part-time and continuing his journey toward citizenship.

“No matter what challenges come your way, you need to keep moving forward,” he shared.

Love showed up when he needed it most. 💕

At just 30 years old, Jose learned his kidneys were failing. Within weeks, he was on dialysis, and life became a cycle of hospital visits, exhaustion, and uncertainty. But through every appointment and sleepless night, one person never left his side — his high school sweetheart and wife, Valerie.

When Jose's medical team told him he would need a transplant, Valerie didn't hesitate. She was tested, and she was a match.

Guided by Dr. Adela Mattiazzi, medical director of adult kidney transplant at Miami Transplant Institute, the couple was evaluated and cleared for a living donor transplant. On April 11, 2023, they underwent surgery together, one giving a kidney and the other receiving a second chance at life.

Today, more than two years after his transplant, Jose is thriving. His strength has returned, his health is stable, and the couple is raising their son, Levi, born one year after his transplant.

“Everything in our story happened exactly when it was supposed to. The teams at Jackson and MTI gave me my husband back. And now, we get to raise our son together,” Valerie shared.

Sometimes love becomes a lifesaving gift. 🙏 Read more at https://transplant.jacksonhealth.org/patient-stories/south-florida-highschool-sweethearts-undergo-living-kidney-donation-with-help-from-miami-transplant-institute/

Ever wonder what the difference is between physical therapy and occupational therapy? 🤍

At Lynn Rehabilitation Center, our teams work side by side, but with different goals in mind. Jadyn, physical therapist, and Chauntel, occupational therapist, break it down through the movements, routines, and everyday moments that shape recovery.

🧠 Occupational therapy focuses on helping people regain independence after injury or disability, so daily tasks feel possible again.

🏃‍♀️ Physical therapy centers on mobility, strength, balance, coordination, and movement, helping patients get back on their feet safely and confidently.

Together, they support the activities that make up your everyday life, from getting dressed to walking, reaching, and beyond.

Stay tuned as we continue our Rehab Series and highlight more specialties from our incredible care teams 💙

Jackson mourns the passing of Thelma Vernell Anderson Gibson, a trailblazer who helped shape the future of healthcare in Miami.

Gibson was born in Coconut Grove in 1926. She graduated from Saint Agnes School of Nursing and returned to Miami in 1947 with surgical training and a dream. But during segregation, she was not permitted to work in the operating rooms at Jackson. Instead, she served in what was then called the "colored wards," caring for patients with skill and compassion.

She went on to care for hundreds of patients at Jackson Memorial, and in 1964 made history as the first Black assistant supervisor of nursing at the Dade County Health Department. In 1984, she returned to Jackson as a member of the Public Health Trust Board of Trustees, a seat she held with distinction for 15 years.

This Black History Month, we honor her life, her service, and the legacy she leaves behind.

When Raymond Paul came to Jackson Memorial Hospital, his life was defined by emergencies and instability. Through compassionate care and partnership with the Homeless Trust, Jackson's Population Health team helped break the cycle.

Today, Raymond is housed, healthy, and thriving. He's showing up for regular care and giving back by supporting others walking the path he once did.

Stories like Raymond’s remind us what’s possible when care extends beyond the hospital walls, and people are met with compassion every step of the way. 💙🏥

Boundaries are about feeling safe, respected, and in control. In your body, your space, and your relationships. 💙
Understanding and setting boundaries can help protect your well-being and remind you that your comfort and consent always matter.

Whether it’s physical, emotional, sexual, or digital, your boundaries are valid — and you never need to justify them. They can change, and you deserve to have them respected.

If you or a loved one has been impacted by sexual violence, the Roxcy Bolton R**e Treatment Center is here with confidential care and support.
