In a major shake-up of South Florida's healthcare industry, two financially troubled, for-profit hospitals in Miami-Dade and South Broward will become government-owned facilities aimed at serving the poor and the ever-growing number of uninsured. Jackson Health System announced that its board approved Wednesday the purchase of Parkway Regional Medical Center in North Miami Beach for $35 million from Tenet Healthcare, a national chain.
