Julie Katz has rejoined Nicklaus Children’s Health System as executive director of community relations and corporate responsibility. In this new role, Katz will help forge and strengthen community partnerships to advance the health system’s mission and vision for the future.
Katz first joined the Nicklaus Children’s family in 2012 as the director of annual giving at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital Foundation. Most recently, she served as vice president of mission resources for Make-A-Wish Southern Florida.
“It is our pleasure to welcome Julie Katz back to our Nicklaus Children’s family,” said Dr. Jennifer McCafferty-Fernandez, vice president of strategy and external affairs at Nicklaus Children’s Health System. “Julie’s breadth of knowledge of our organization and South Florida, the community we proudly call home, make her a great fit for this important role collaborating with our partners.”
Katz earned her master’s degree in business administration with a concentration in youth and family policy from the Heller School of Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University in Waltham, MA.
Nicklaus Children’s Health System (NCHS) is the parent organization of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, South Florida’s only licensed specialty hospital exclusively for children. The 309-bed nonprofit hospital, known as Miami Children’s Hospital from 1983 through 2014, was founded in 1950 by Variety Clubs International and is renowned for excellence in all aspects of pediatric medicine, with many programs routinely ranked among the nation’s best by U.S. News & World Report.
