Under the alliance, Joe DiMaggio will see patients at its new complex care center and can refer patients to specialists at Boston Children’s Hospital for further evaluation and treatment. The organizations will work together to manage patient care and treat the rarest and most complex conditions.
The organizations said the goal is to create a care plan that keeps pediatric patients in need of complex care in South Florida.
“We are excited about this collaboration because it directly benefits children and adolescents with complex needs in the greater South Florida community,” said Caitlin Stella, CEO of Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. “It provides access to the collective expertise from two nationally ranked children’s hospitals in the country, while maintaining care close to home.”
Joe DiMaggio’s new complex care center will offer a range of services, including office visits for children with complex chronic conditions, short- and long-term medical planning for patients, second opinions for children with rare health issues, and transition of care visits for medically complex children.
“This alliance will strengthen the shared commitment of two great institutions to improving access to the highest-quality pediatric care, and to improving the entire experience for the patients and their families,” said Kevin Churchwell, MD, CEO of Boston Children’s Hospital. “We are looking forward to serving the children of South Florida together.”
