Nicklaus Children’s Hospital was founded in 1950. It opened its doors as Variety Children’s Hospital as the polio epidemic was spreading across the U.S. The hospital soon focused on treating children with polio, and over the years, it services grew. In 1983, the hospital was renamed Miami Children’s Hospital. Then, in 2001, the hospital campus was renovated and expanded. In 2015, when the hospital turned 65 years old, it was renamed Nicklaus Children’s Hospital after receiving a pledge from the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation.

Now, Nicklaus Hospital has 289 beds, 650 attending physicians, and more than 130 pediatric sub-specialties. The hospital offers primary care, emergency care, and dental care for children throughout Florida. It has been verified as a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons. Each year, it contributes between $16 and $20 million in uncompensated care.
