The new Mercy Hospital Emergency Pavilion has been named "The M.B. Fernandez Family Emergency Pavilion" after a generous Miami entrepreneur, Miguel B. (Mike) Fernandez and his family donated $5 million toward the Hospital's Emergency Department expansion. Fernandez is CEO of MBF Healthcare Partners, a private equity fund that invests in healthcare service firms.

"Mercy has a great tradition of service to the Hispanic population and I recognize it as a preeminent hospital in Miami-Dade County" explained Mike Fernandez. "My father has been a patient at Mercy and I felt our donation could play a significant role in the needed updating and expansion of their services."

Fernandez's donation is the lead gift of the Mercy Hospital Foundation's VISION Campaign, which has raised more than $15 million for the Hospital's Emergency Department expansion through the generous support of Mercy philanthropists, physician groups, community leaders and employees.
