Children's health system operating hospital, outpatient centers, and physician practices across South Florida
Nicklaus Children's Health System operates the region's only dedicated pediatric health system, spanning a hospital, growing outpatient footprint, and physician practice subsidiary. The tech stack is traditional healthcare—Epic, Cerner, PACS, Oracle, SQL Server—with current execution focused on operational scaling: lean process improvement, NICU expansion to Level III, and patient flow optimization. Hiring is heavily clinical (260 healthcare roles), with infrastructure gaps visible in engineering (4 roles) and security (4 roles), suggesting reliance on legacy systems and managed services rather than in-house capability.
Notable leadership hires: Medical Director, Nursing Director, Director of Operations, Chief Radiology, Chief Allergy & Immunology
