The Jessie Trice Community Health System celebrated the opening of a new health care facility in Liberty Square on Oct. 21, expanding access to primary care and dental services for adults and children in the community.
Located at 1415 NW 63rd St., Suite 102, the facility offers internal medicine, family medicine and general dentistry. The center is equipped with modern medical equipment and is intended to reduce barriers to health care, including transportation challenges and long travel distances, according to a press release.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house brought together JTCHS leadership, board members, staff, elected officials and community residents. Attendees included state Rep. Ashley Gantt, Miami Mayor Eileen Higgins, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Keon Hardemon and Albert Milo Jr., president of Related Urban Development Group.

“We are excited about this new facility,” Hawkins said. “Having a doctor or dentist nearby is only the first step. We encourage residents to take advantage of these services, prioritize their health and lead healthier lives.”
The center is part of the broader redevelopment of Liberty Square, led by Related Urban Development Group, which aims to expand residents’ access to resources and opportunities that support long-term well-being.
JTCHS, a federally qualified community health care system serving Miami-Dade County, provides a range of services, including dentistry, family medicine, pediatrics, behavioral health, pharmacy, nutrition and obstetric and gynecological care.
The organization said additional facilities are planned as it continues to expand its presence across the county.
