Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Outpatient Center Hosts Grand Opening and Community Open House

Miami Children’s Hospital (MCH) and the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation celebrated the grand opening of the Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Outpatient Center with a community open house. Patients and families enjoyed family fun entertainment, refreshments and tours of the facility. Special guests Jack and Barbara Nicklaus spoke before a crowd of several hundred members of the community, as well as media. The center is located in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., not far from the North Palm Beach home where Jack and Barbara have resided since 1970.
The Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Outpatient Center in Palm Beach Gardens provides medical services to meet the healthcare needs of children and adolescents from birth through 21 years of age. The Center currently offers rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational and speech-language therapies, and outpatient pediatric imaging services (X-ray).  The Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Outpatient Center recently added pediatric urgent care for minor injuries and illnesses. Visits with pediatric subspecialists and MRI services will be available soon.
This 21,500-square-foot center is the second pediatric care facility to open in Palm Beach County, Fla. In 2010, the Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Care Center opened in Loxahatchee as a collaboration between MCH and the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing pediatric care offerings in the region.
“When Jack and I were young parents, we quickly discovered the importance of accessible quality pediatric healthcare,” said Barbara Nicklaus, chairman of the board of the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation. “We always said that if we were ever in a position to help someone, our focus would be children. And if we could help the children and families in the communities where we live, that would become our priority. With the opening of the Miami Children’s Hospital Nicklaus Outpatient Center in Palm Beach Gardens, we have taken another important step in answering the wants and needs of our community to provide enhanced pediatric care services.
“For years this has been our dream, and, today that dream becomes an important reality not only for us, but, for many families in Palm Beach County and surrounding areas in need of convenient access to world-class care!”
“Thanks to the support of the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, Miami Children’s Hospital continues its mission to be where the children are and bring specialized healthcare services to the children of Palm Beach County,” said M. Narendra Kini, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Miami Children’s Hospital.
