The University of Miami Health System plans to continue the expansion of its serv-
ices throughout South Florida by building a medical center in Downtown Doral, the

the rapidly growing Doral community and will serve as a western hub for our distin-
guished regional network of ambulatory services,” said Edward Abraham, M.D., exec-
utive vice president for health affairs and CEO of UHealth. “We are committed to pro-
viding personalized care to the people living and working in Doral.”
The 100,000-square-foot, four-story UHealth at Downtown Doral, near the inter-
section of NW 87th Avenue and 53rd Street, will be modeled after UHealth’s award-
