Jackson Memorial Hospital, one of the nation's largest public hospitals and a Level I Trauma Center, is essentially a neighbor — reachable in minutes.

For residents transitioning from acute inpatient care back to strength and independence, no skilled nursing facility in Miami offers more convenient continuity with hospital-based care teams. Beyond the medical campus, the surrounding area connects residents and families to some of Miami's most culturally exciting neighborhoods.

Wynwood, with its internationally recognized street art scene and vibrant café culture, is a short drive to the north. Overtown — one of Miami's historically significant African American neighborhoods — is adjacent, with deep cultural roots and a growing culinary presence. Onyx Health brings a focused operational commitment to clinical quality and resident experience at University Health and Rehabilitation Center. The facility provides comprehensive skilled nursing services, short- and long-term care, and individualized rehabilitation programming in a setting that places the best of Miami medicine literally at the doorstep.
