Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine is the school of medical education at the University of Miami. The school is located in downtown Miami, Florida. The renowned Jackson Memorial Hospital serves as its major teaching facility.

In December of 2004, the University of Miami School of Medicine received a $100 million donation from the family of the late businessman, Leonard M. Miller, who made his fortunes in home construction in what eventually became the Lennar Corporation. It was the single-largest donation in University of Miami history and the second-largest gift ever given to a university in the state of Florida (behind only the $220 million donated by Thomas Monaghan to found Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida). The University renamed the school in Miller's honor after the historic donation.

The UM Department of Community Service at the School of Medicine provides various free medical services in Miami community.
