At the School Board Meeting of April 22, 2026, School Board Member Roberto J. Alonso proffered agenda item B-4, recognizing Carlos A. Migoya, Chief Executive Officer of Jackson Health System, for his distinguished service to public leadership and healthcare on the occasion of his retirement.
Mr. Carlos A. Migoya has transformed Jackson Health System into a strong, integrated network of hospitals and community-based services, restoring the reputation of one of the nation’s largest public healthcare systems. Through disciplined stewardship, transparency, and accountability, he reversed years of financial instability, strengthened public trust, and positioned the system for long-term success.
Under his leadership, Jackson has reaffirmed its mission to provide high-quality, accessible care to all Miami-Dade County residents, regardless of income, background, or insurance status, while advancing initiatives that address social determinants of health and improve patient outcomes, reflecting a deeply personal commitment rooted in his family’s longstanding connection to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Throughout the years, Jackson Health System has been a valued partner to Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), working collaboratively to support the health and well-being of students, families, and employees. This partnership has included a range of initiatives focused on expanding access to care, promoting preventive health, and connecting the community to critical services.
Most recently, Mr. Migoya has helped advance employee wellness through a partnership between Jackson Health System and M-DCPS, providing EKG screenings at no cost to all employees, regardless of whether they are enrolled in the School Board healthcare plan or have insurance coverage. This initiative expands access to cost-efficient preventive care, including physician consultations, facility access, and follow-up specialty services through Jackson and UHealth Urgent Care centers. It also complements broader outreach efforts such as the “Wellness on Wheels” program, which delivers on-site screenings, education, and referrals, along with employee health fairs across the community.
Through these longstanding partnerships and his leadership, Mr. Migoya leaves a legacy of advancing community health and well-being, making a lasting impact on students, families, and employees across Miami-Dade County.
The School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida, proudly honors Carlos A. Migoya for his commitment to expanding access to healthcare and public service, recognizing his role in strengthening partnerships, improving health outcomes, and supporting the professionals and institutions that help the community thrive.
