UHealth Don Soffer Clinical Research Center

East 25th Street at 750, Hialeah FL 33013, is a shared campus address in northern Hialeah that carries both the UHealth Don Soffer Clinical Research Center (this entry) and the UF Health Hialeah Dental Center (applied separately in this database). The two entries reflect the complex healthcare landscape at this address: UHealth is the University of Miami Health System, while UF Health is the University of Florida Health System — two distinct academic health networks with a shared presence at the 750 E 25th Street campus in northern Hialeah ZIP 33013.

The UHealth Don Soffer Clinical Research Center bears the name of a prominent South Florida real estate developer and philanthropist whose major gift funded the University of Miami Health System's research facilities. The "Clinical Research Center" designation indicates a facility where clinical research trials and academic health services intersect — providing patient care within the framework of University of Miami academic medicine.

Dental services at a UHealth clinical research facility operate within the University of Miami academic medicine context, which differs from a private practice in important ways. Patient-provider relationships may include student or resident dentists under faculty supervision, consistent with the academic training mission of the University of Miami health system. For patients in Hialeah who qualify for UHealth services, the academic health environment provides access to the diagnostic resources and specialist consultations available within a major research university health system.

The Hialeah ZIP 33013 community in northern Miami-Dade is a predominantly Cuban-American working-class city — one of Florida's largest and most densely Hispanic municipalities — where academic health system presence provides an access layer for households that benefit from the reduced costs and academic resources that university-affiliated dental care can offer.

For patients in northern Hialeah and the surrounding communities of ZIP 33013 seeking dental services under the UHealth (University of Miami) system at this East 25th Street campus, the UHealth Don Soffer Clinical Research Center at 750 E 25th Street — co-located with the UF Health Hialeah Dental Center at the same address — provides that university health system access point.
