🏛️ Everyday Essentials
Two Memorial Healthcare hospitals are located right in Pembroke Pines — plus a dedicated children's hospital just 10 minutes away. Here's what you need to know about emergency care, locations, and what each hospital does best.
🏥 Pembroke Pines
Pembroke Pines is served by two Memorial Healthcare System hospitals — both with 24/7 emergency departments and a full range of medical services.
A full-service community hospital on Sheridan Street offering a comprehensive range of healthcare services: 24/7 emergency care, Express Care for minor injuries and illnesses, cancer care, heart and vascular services, women's health, surgical services, and rehabilitation. Part of the Memorial Healthcare System, one of Florida's largest public healthcare networks.
A larger Memorial Healthcare campus in Pembroke Pines featuring one of the busiest adult emergency departments in Broward County. Offers comprehensive services including advanced cardiac care, surgical services, women's and children's services, intensive care, and a wide range of outpatient programs and specialty clinics.
🧒 Worth the Drive
For specialized children's care, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood is the closest dedicated pediatric facility.
A world-class pediatric hospital within Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. Offers specialized children's emergency services, pediatric intensive care, pediatric surgery, and a full range of children's specialty programs. About 10 minutes from Pembroke Pines.
For life-threatening emergencies (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, head injury, stroke symptoms), go straight to the nearest hospital ER or call 911. For non-life-threatening issues (sprains, minor cuts, flu, ear infections, rashes), an urgent care clinic is faster and significantly less expensive. Memorial Hospital Pembroke offers an Express Care area for minor illnesses — a middle ground between ER and standalone urgent care.
Both Memorial Hospital Pembroke and Memorial Hospital West offer online check-in for their emergency departments. You can select a time and wait at home rather than in the waiting room. Visit mhs.net to check in online. Save the address and phone number of your preferred hospital in your phone — this saves precious minutes during an actual emergency.
