Ground Broken on Baptist Health’s Al and Jane Nahmad Women’s Cancer Center

Oct 1, 2024 | Public | 0 comments

Construction of the new facility is slated for completion by the end of 2026.

Baptist Health broke ground on the new Al and Jane Nahmad Women’s Cancer Center. Located on the campus of Baptist Health Baptist Hospital, the Center is named in honor of Al and Jane Nahmad, longtime benefactors of Baptist Health, volunteers and advocates for women’s wellness and care, who provided a gift in support of Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute. Construction on the Center is slated to be completed by the end of 2026.

Spanning 155,000 square feet, the Women’s Cancer Center will be housed in the new Keeley Pavilion. Once complete, the facility will deliver cancer care for women, pioneering research and an exceptional patient experience, all in one unique location.

The Center will allow the Institute to expand clinical teams, conduct more research trials and harness the world’s most cutting-edge cancer-fighting technology to bring the best care to more patients in Florida — where demand for care is outpacing available resources — as well as patients from Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond.

Al and Jane Nahmad have been supporters and volunteers of Baptist Health for over 20 years. Al Nahmad was chair of Miami Cancer Institute’s Operating Board during a time of rapid growth for the Institute, as it has transformed cancer care and research in South Florida since opening its doors in 2017.

Baptist Health’s focus on advancing care through research and innovation will be further accelerated by its recent clinical and academic affiliation with Florida International University. Baptist Health’s current residency program will be expanded to put Baptist Hospital on the path toward becoming a statutory teaching hospital.
