There are moments in life when time seems to slow down. A diagnosis can feel like that—heavy, uncertain, and immediate. But at the Cancer Center at Larkin, time begins again. Not in panic, but in purpose. We believe that behind every diagnosis is a story, and behind every story is a person deserving of care, clarity, and a chance at healing.
Our center is more than a building—it’s a haven of progress and compassion, home to physicians who are not only leaders in their fields but advocates for the people they serve. As part of our Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Training Program, Larkin continues to cultivate a new generation of cancer specialists trained in both the science of treatment and the art of empathy.
Modern Treatments Rooted in Innovation
Larkin’s Cancer Center offers the most advanced therapies available today, including:

Chemotherapy: Targeted cellular treatment personalized to your diagnosis.

These treatments are administered with clinical precision—and more importantly, with human kindness.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Our mission doesn’t end with remission. At Larkin, we believe in treating the whole person—not just the disease. Alongside traditional therapies, our physicians advocate for preventive care strategies aimed at reducing the risk of recurrence:

Nutritional Counseling: Because food can be both medicine and message.

Anti-Inflammatory Guidance: Chronic inflammation is often the silent partner of disease. We address it at its root.

Immune Support Therapies: Strengthening the body’s defenses to fight back naturally and recover fully.

This integrated approach bridges modern oncology with functional medicine, tailored to your life, your needs, and your goals.

Yajaira Morell

Protection is more than a policy—it’s a promise to be there when it matters most.
– Yajaira Morell

 

In Miami—a city that pulses with opportunity—being called a “Rising Star” is more than a compliment. It’s a signifier of excellence, ambition, and a future that shines bright. Rising Stars are young professionals who’ve already made a mark and are only getting started. They’re leaders who don’t just work in their industries—they transform them.
Yajaira Morell is exactly that kind of leader.

Building Protection with Passion: Yajaira’s Insurance Journey
In a city like Miami—where innovation meets ambition—being called a “Rising Star” means standing out for all the right reasons. It’s a title earned by professionals who combine excellence, experience, and vision at an early stage in their journey. A Rising Star isn’t just successful—they’re just getting started.
Yajaira Morell exemplifies this perfectly. With over two decades in the insurance industry and a bold vision for the future, she is not only building protection plans—she’s building trust, leadership, and opportunity.

Tailored Protection for Businesses That Build Miami
Since 2001, Yajaira has been a licensed insurance agent, holding both her 215 and 220 licenses. Her work began in residential insurance, but today, she has emerged as a powerhouse in commercial coverage for construction companies, condominiums, and hotels.
These industries are the heartbeat of Miami’s growth—and Yajaira is right there, ensuring that builders, property managers, and hospitality leaders have the support they need to keep going.
She offers strategic solutions for general liability, property protection, payroll, benefits, commercial auto, and more. Her expertise helps protect the very businesses that shape Miami’s skyline and welcome its global visitors.

She doesn’t sell policies—she provides peace of mind. Her clients know that when crisis hits, she’ll be there. Calm. Capable. Committed.

Community Leadership Beyond the Office
Yajaira’s passion doesn’t stop with her clients. She is a Chapter Success Coach and proudly serves as the Chair of the Small Business Committee at Chamber South, where she works closely with entrepreneurs and small business leaders to fuel growth in the local economy.
From mentoring to moderating panels, she invests time, energy, and heart into helping others succeed. Her leadership is rooted in connection—because she knows that behind every business is a dream worth protecting.

A Decade Ahead: Vision with Purpose
When asked where she sees herself ten years from now, Yajaira lights up: “I want to speak publicly, help people in business, and keep building strong connections.”
Her vision is grounded in service. She wants to help entrepreneurs avoid costly missteps, learn the power of proper coverage, and build networks that lead to long-term success. Speaking, teaching, mentoring—these are not just future goals for Yajaira. They’re part of her daily rhythm.

“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” — Peter Drucker
This quote echoes beautifully throughout Yajaira’s journey. Her career wasn’t built by chance—it was forged through passion, commitment, and a clear understanding of the role she plays in her clients’ lives.
Every policy she crafts, every committee she chairs, and every entrepreneur she supports reflects her belief that you don’t have to wait for opportunity—you can build it.
In serving those who build, manage, and welcome, she creates a ripple effect. Safer businesses. Stronger communities. Inspired professionals. She doesn’t just imagine a better future—she insures it.

Takeaway: Where Passion Meets Purpose
Yajaira Morell is not just a successful insurance agent—she’s a community builder, a leader, and a guide. Her work in the construction, condominium, and hospitality industries helps secure the very foundation of Miami’s economy. But it’s her commitment to service, mentorship, and growth that truly makes her a Rising Star.
