Miami is a premier international destination for so many reasons. It has year-round sunshine, unbeatable beaches, an abundance of shopping, and plenty of entertainment and nightlife options. The population has been increasing gradually, and the downtown area in particular is undergoing massive developments. As the city grows, it is continuing to improve the roads, and developers are constructing condominiums in coveted neighborhoods to accommodate increasing demand.
Pretty soon, people may be flocking to Miami for more than a good time. Baptist Health South Florida, the largest non-profit hospital network in Miami-Dade County, has plans to establish a cancer treatment and research center in 2016. The hospital will be spending almost half of a billion dollars to build what is slated to be a leading health facility. The cancer center will offer clinical treatment and conduct research, and it will also provide proton therapy. It will be the first center to offer this unique treatment method in South Florida. Currently, there are only a handful of centers in the nation that provide this cutting-edge option.
Apparently, the hospital plans to recruit nationally renowned experts. Now, in addition to world-class beaches, shopping, and entertainment, Miami will offer residents and tourists world-class medical treatment. Fortunately, the location of this state of the art cancer center will provide individuals all over Florida and the southeastern part of the United States, as well as people in Central and South America, with access to better treatment.
Hopefully, since there are pre-construction condos popping up all over the city, out-of-state residents traveling to Miami for the unparalleled treatment this cancer center will provide will be able to select from a range of Miami properties to rent while they recover. Even though we don’t want people to come to Miami under such sad circumstances, we hope those that do are able to take advantage of Miami’s other attractions. At least the sunshine and beaches will offer somewhat of a reprieve.
