Robin Miller named emergency medical services liaison for HCA Florida Aventura Hospital

HCA Florida Aventura Hospital, an American College of Surgeons (ACS) Verified Level II Trauma Center, has named Robin Miller as its emergency medical services (EMS) liaison. Robin enters a role previously held by Jack Swerdloff, who was recently promoted to burn education and outreach coordinator at our sister facility, HCA Florida Kendall Hospital.

Robin is a proven leader with over 30 years of experience in emergency medical services and emergency room nursing in Miami-Dade County, Florida. She assessed and cared for patients in the acute care setting prior to joining Miami Dade Fire Rescue, where she expanded her nursing application to the areas of occupational and infection control nursing. Within that scope, she introduced new health and safety programs, led educational sessions pertaining to injury prevention and championed infection control protocols and response plans. Robin later served as a paramedic and firefighter for Miami Dade Fire Rescue and gained progressive leadership roles with promotions to Lieutenant, Captain and subsequently Battalion Chief from 2002 to 2018. 

“We are delighted to have Robin join our team and continue to build on the resilient relationships we hold with our first responder partners. They show up whenever and wherever they are needed as we show up for them and our patients with established quality metrics, including being named by Healthgrades as America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Critical Care for two years in a row.”, said Carolyn Hunter, chief operating officer, HCA Florida Aventura Hospital.  

Robin earned a bachelor of science in nursing from Florida Atlantic University and an associate of science in nursing from Miami Dade College. She holds certifications in National Incident Management System and Incident Command System from the Emergency Management Institute of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
