South Miami Hospital offers women an extensive range of health care resources to help navigate each of life's "passages." We offer up-to-the-minute health education, a wide variety of support groups, and state-of-the-art diagnostic testing such as mammography, ultrasound and bone densitometry, an important test that diagnoses bone loss caused by osteoporosis.
Reproductive Medicine Program
There are many possible reasons why couples can't get pregnant, from female anatomical problems to male infertility. Reproductive specialists use the latest techniques in assisted fertilization, including in-vitro fertilization, egg donation and cryopreservation (freezing and storing of embryos) -- backed by a highly personalized approach to sensitive and very private emotions.
Maternity Care
The stork market is booming. Nearly 4,000 babies are born at South Miami Hospital each year. The staff at the "Birth Day Place" pampers new parents with warm, personalized service, attention to detail and plenty of old-fashioned TLC. In addition to traditional maternity care, we offer several other specialized services for parents-to-be, including:
All-natural, midwife-assisted birth.
Programs for first-time parents and for mothers with gestational diabetes or other high-risk pregnancies.
The most up-to-date treatment methods for medical complications associated with pregnancy. (South Miami Hospital is one of the few private hospitals in Miami-Dade County with these specialists on staff.)
Beyond Your Reproductive Years
Hormone replacement therapy. Health and nutrition counseling. Menopause support groups. We understand that women past their child-bearing years share a special set of health concerns requiring special expertise, experience and understanding. That's why we have some of the area's top physicians specializing in medical issues for middle-aged and older women.
