Ms. Severe is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations at Jackson North, which serves the residents of north Miami-Dade and south Broward counties. She joined in 2014 and grew in leadership positions during her tenure, most recently serving as COO, overseeing a wide range of ancillary and support services. She provided administrative oversight of the hospital’s $100 million construction project to build the three-story UHealth Jackson Critical Care Pavilion, a facility that adds 79 ICU beds to the organization’s critical care capacity. She was also the executive lead on Jackson’s robust Covid-19 lab operations, which provided nearly 200,000 Covid tests to patients, physicians and employees during the pandemic. This program was a model for other healthcare entities in developing testing algorithms used to ensure patient safety and throughput.
