Comprehensive Women's Symposium 2025

Memorial Healthcare System will be hosting the 2025 Comprehensive Women’s Symposium with topics focused on hot topics in the field of OB/GYN. The educational objective of this symposium is to learn about recent advances in treatment & diagnosis in the field of maternal health.

Memorial Healthcare System (MHS) performs over 60% of the deliveries in Broward County and remains the leader for Obstetrics in the market. We have three Family Birthplaces throughout our system – Memorial Regional Hospital (MRH), Memorial Hospital West (MHW), and Memorial Hospital Miramar (MHM). We also have a world-class children’s hospital, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, with incredible sub-specialties that enables us to provide the families with comprehensive care for both mom and baby. Each of our facilities are equipped with a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit – MRH/JDCH is now a Level IV NICU, while MHW and MHM have Level III NICUs.

In 2019, the healthcare system began teaching the next generation of OB/GYNs by starting a residency program with 4 residents per year. Memorial has also made investments into women’s imaging through a partnership with Solis, recruitment of Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) physicians, and in 2023 Memorial Regional Hospital received Levels of Maternal Care verification at Level 4, the highest you can obtain.
