Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute is proud to welcome Joseph T. McGinn, M.D., as Chief of Cardiac Surgery. Dr. McGinn is an expert in the assessment and surgical treatment of patients with coronary artery, aortic and valvular disease. He is particularly renowned in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft surgery, where the surgical method he developed is known internationally as the “McGinn method.” The leadership of Dr. McGinn in cardiac surgery for the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute brings a proven leader who has established very strong teams of extraordinary surgical and clinical expertise to provide the expert and multidisciplinary care that serve as foundation hallmarks for Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute.
On August 21, 2019, The Miami Dolphins, in partnership with Baptist Health, broke ground on a new $135 million advanced training complex and sports performance clinic. The facility, which will also house a new 30,000-square-foot site for Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute, is being built right next to Hard Rock Stadium. The general public will have access to the facility, where they can see Baptist Health physicians, have outpatient diagnostics run and work with our physical therapists on rehabilitation. Aiming to serve everyone in our community, Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute wanted to have a presence in Miami Gardens and offer access to world-class physicians in this growing area.
FUNDRAISING AT GLANCE Physicians are an important part of successful philanthropy. Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute’s Javier Jimenez, M.D., the founder of the Advanced Heart Failure & Pulmonary Hypertension Program at South Miami Hospital, has been conducting research in several areas from understanding the genetic makeup of cardiomyopathy, exploring the physiology of cardiac and pulmonary circulation, to evaluating, managing and continuing care for patients with these complicated conditions. Innovation through research is vital in the battle against heart disease and Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute utilizes philanthropic support to support these efforts and create new and better treatments for these devastating diseases helping to decrease symptoms and help patients live a long, active and enjoyable life.
FUNDRAISING AT GLANCE Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute places importance on young athletes, providing preventive care and education, as well as treatment for repetitive motion and other injuries. Through the Youth Athletic Outreach Program, the Institute’s medical team provides physicals and pre-participation screenings for high school athletes in Miami-Dade County, including free EKG screenings at Baptist Medical Plaza diagnostic centers and on-field care for varsity football games. The Miami Dolphins Foundation donated $1.5 million to the pro bono community and outreach program fundraising initiative, allocating $300,000 for five years to help run this program for the Miami-Dade Public Schools. Philanthropy is the foundation for which Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute can offer top-notch access and education to these young athletes.

DID YOU KNOW? With current changes in the healthcare environment, discovery and breakthroughs in cardiovascular care will not occur without the generosity of donors to fund vitally important research. For this reason, Baptist Health Foundation launched the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute Vision for Discovery and Innovation campaign at the end of 2017. The Discovery and Innovation campaign is presently ongoing and represents the Institute’s determination to embark on research trials focused on new treatments, devices or methods that offer opportunities to improve patient outcomes. So far, the campaign has raised more than $10 million of its $20 million fundraising goal. The Institute strives to advance the care and practice of medicine through research and discovery so that no one in South Florida will need to travel far for the most advanced treatments. 34
