South Miami Hospital s Center for Women & Infants is your one-stop location to meet all your healthcare needs. We provide a wide range of services in a friendly setting. We re a name you ve trusted for safe, quality care for half a century. And now, we ve made all of this more simple and convenient than ever.

3 Patient Care Navigator: With you every step of the way. Before you even begin using our health services, you ll experience the convenience and personalized service of the Center for Women & Infants. Our Patient Care Navigator a free service that we provide to all the Center s patients is your personal healthcare guide. She will always be on hand to direct you to diagnostic and treatment services, support groups and other local resources. If you have questions about your care or your appointments, she will help you find answers and locate the physicians who fit your needs. Call your Patient Care Navigator at or visit us online at CenteredOnMe.com.

4 Diagnostics: The inside story of your health. We make it easy to get the diagnostic and imaging services you need in one location. No running around town from one imaging center to another. You save time and energy, and we help you get the services you need when you need them. For pregnant women, we provide in addition to ultrasound services through every stage of your pregnancy fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assist your physician in diagnosing possible brain, spine and other abnormalities in unborn babies or problems with the mother s placenta. For women who are not pregnant, we offer a full range of diagnostic imaging for every stage of your life, from ultrasound and sonohysterograms for evaluating

5 the uterine lining, to digital screening and diagnostic mammography, to pelvic MRI and bone density testing. Tests to assess and diagnose fertility problems also are available. CENTERED ON WHAT WOMEN WANT Our diagnostic waiting room lets busy women relax while they wait with robes, calming decor, free Wi-Fi and complimentary chair massages. X-ray, CT and PET scanning detect various problems, from muscle and bone injuries to neurological disorders and cancer to heart disease. You can count on us to provide superior imaging and diagnostic testing in a spa-like setting.

6 Preconception to Birth: One-of-a-kind care. The Center for Women & Infants excels in all areas of the birthing experience. We re perhaps best known for our award-winning maternity services the place women in South Florida choose most often to have their babies. In fact, South Miami Hospital has been delivering babies for more than 50 years. Yet, for women having difficulties conceiving, the Center also offers resources to the area s top fertility specialists, who not only treat infertility, but can preserve fertility and can also reverse some tubal ligations. We also provide a comprehensive education program for parents. Our doctors and anesthesiologists are Board-certified and our nurses are renowned for their caring and expertise. Our Maternal-Fetal Special Care Unit, the only one of its kind in South Florida, provides advanced care for expectant mothers and their unborn infants 24 hours a day. We care for high-risk mothers with a variety of conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, pre-eclampsia and preterm labor. The medical team, led by a maternal-fetal specialist, also performs ultrasound-guided procedures to correct anemia, conduct chromosome testing and treat fetal bladder obstructions or lung problems, while the baby is still in the womb.

7 Neonatal Intensive Care and Child Development: Helping children achieve their potential. If your newborn needs special care and observation, our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is here for you, staffed by a team of specialized physicians and nurses. Our NICU has 23 Level II beds and 15 Level III beds. The Level III NICU provides care to babies weighing less than 2.2 pounds and neonatal surgery to infants who require it. All Level III NICU patient rooms are private to offer a calming, healing environment to the babies and their families. South Miami Hospital s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit was the first hospital in Miami-Dade County to have Board-certified physicians specializing in neonatal care in the hospital around the clock. The unit also was first in the community to offer innovative treatments, including inhaled nitric oxide, for respiratory problems in premature babies. The neonatal transport team, also the first of its kind in South Florida, is staffed by experienced professionals, who transport infants from other medical facilities to South Miami Hospital. The NICU also advocated lawmakers to mandate hearing tests for all newborns in the state of Florida. Since 1993, our Child Development Center has provided high-quality diagnostic and early intervention services to help children reach their full capabilities in all areas of development. Our team of specialists includes developmental pediatricians, occupational and physical therapists, psychologists, speech/language pathologists, social workers and audiologists, most of whom speak both English and Spanish. Our program is known for having the highest standards of quality and expertise in pediatric development assessment, intervention and care.

8 Umbilical Cord Blood Collection: Unique to South Florida. The Center for Women & Infants houses the only public umbilical cord blood collection center in South Florida. We deliver more than 4,000 babies each year. Our location in the heart of culturally diverse Miami makes us the perfect epicenter for the collection of umbilical cord blood, which is rich in stem cells. Research has found that cord blood can be used to treat more than 70 diseases of the blood, including leukemia and sickle cell anemia. Parents may choose to donate their newborn s umbilical cord blood, which would otherwise be discarded as medical waste.

9 Surgical and Gynecological Services: Coordinating the best treatment options for you. The Center for Women & Infants makes coping with cancer less confusing and more convenient. Whether you require breast surgery, breast reconstruction or radiation to treat cancer, you can count on us to always provide compassionate, expert care. If you have symptomatic fibroids, our Fibroid Center (opening late 2010) combines all of the services you need in one location. A multidisciplinary team of specialists will evaluate your needs and develop an individualized treatment plan. The team includes a gynecologic surgeon, as well as diagnostic and interventional radiologists, who will work together to determine your best treatment options. Our surgical team offers robotic surgery, which involves smaller incisions, less pain and quicker recovery times than traditional surgery. Laparoscopic surgery and myomectomy are also available, as well as uterine fibroid embolization when appropriate. This minimally invasive procedure blocks the blood flow to uterine fibroids. Our Urodynamic Testing Lab, part of our diagnostic services, evaluates symptoms such as urinary incontinence or painful urination and provides treatment options, such as pelvic floor rehabilitation. For women needing more advanced treatment options, we offer surgery to correct pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence. Of course, the Center for Women & Infants offers a full range of gynecological and cancer treatment services. Your Patient Care Navigator can help guide you to the diagnostic and treatment services you need.

10 Lifestyle Services: For a healthier, happier you. We can help you navigate a broad range of healthy lifestyle services. We offer medical and surgical weight-loss programs, cosmetic medicine and surgery, as well as smoking cessation programs and support groups. If you re looking to become a fitter, healthier, happier you, we can help. In addition to our medical weight-loss programs, we also offer a surgical option. Weight-loss (bariatric) surgery is recognized by the National Institutes of Health as a viable treatment option for obesity. South Miami Hospital has been designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery. We perform these weight-loss surgery procedures: Gastric bypass reduces the size of your stomach and reroutes the digestive system. Adjustable gastric bands and gastric sleeves reduce the volume of your stomach so food intake is restricted.

11 Centered on Me. Think of the Center for Women & Infants as your one-stop shopping destination for all your healthcare needs. We combine personalized care with decades of experience, all in a convenient setting. And your Patient Care Navigator makes getting the services you need even easier. Once you ve experienced the way healthcare should be, you ll say, The Center for Women & Infants at South Miami Hospital really is centered on me!
