Our team at the Miami Burn Center at Ryder Trauma Center joined Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and fire departments across our community to bring hands-on safety education to local students. 🚒

Children from kindergarten through second grade rotated through interactive stations to practice life-saving skills, including Stop, Drop & Roll, fire prevention at home, kitchen and bathroom safety, and a 9-1-1 simulation to help them understand what to do in an emergency.

Prevention starts with knowledge, and we’re proud to bring these hands-on safety lessons to children across our community.

Keeping young hearts safe starts with prevention. ❤️

We partnered with Miami-Dade County Public Schools to provide free EKG screenings, testing nearly 3,000 students onsite across local schools and providing close to 10,000 total EKG screenings across our community.

An EKG is a quick, simple, noninvasive test that can help identify potential heart concerns early, especially for student athletes who are staying active and competing throughout the school year.

As sports seasons approach, consider prioritizing heart screenings for student athletes. Sports physicals with an EKG are available at all UHealth Jackson Urgent Care centers.

Not every cough or sniffle means your child needs to stay home from school. But some symptoms are a sign their body needs rest or medical attention. 🎒🤒

Keep your child home if they have:
✅ Fever of 100.4°F or higher
✅ Vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours
✅ Unexplained rash or skin infection
✅ Persistent cough or difficulty breathing
✅ Pink eye with discharge
✅ Extreme fatigue or body aches

They can usually go to school with:
-Mild cold symptoms and fever-free for 24 hours
-Minor cough that's improving
-Seasonal allergies (if controlled)

When in doubt, keep them home to rest and prevent spreading illness to classmates. If symptoms feel more concerning or you're unsure what to do next, UHealth Jackson Urgent Care provides care for non-emergency illnesses and injuries, flu shots, and same-day evaluation for common symptoms.

When Christina Matthew-Deffo learned she was expecting her second child, she and her family were filled with hope. After experiencing previous losses, this pregnancy felt especially meaningful. 💜

At just 26 weeks, that hope was tested when what began as a routine prenatal visit quickly turned into a race against time. Christina’s son, Caleb, was born weighing just 2 pounds and was immediately admitted to the NICU at Holtz Children’s Hospital.
There, multidisciplinary teams worked closely with Christina and her family, supporting Caleb through each fragile milestone while helping his parents stay connected, informed, and involved every step of the way.

After months of care, Caleb is now thriving at home with his parents and big sister by his side. ✨

“Jackson cared for our son with skill and love. It wasn’t just the right place; Jackson was the place we were meant to be,” Christina shared.
