Jackson Health Systems’ plan for new Doral hospital challenged by rivals’ lawsuit – South Florida Business Journal

Five rival hospitals filed complaints to overturn the state’s approval of Jackson Health System’s proposed hospital in Doral.

The Agency for Health Care Administration approved the Miami-Dade County public health system’s application for the 100-bed Jackson West Hospital in December, but rejected for-profit HCA’s proposal for an 80-bed hospital in the same area. The agency said that Jackson’s plan would best serve the needs of the public.
