Jackson Memorial Foundation is kicking off its multi-million dollar Transformation Campaign on behalf of Jackson Memorial Hospital with the renovation of patient rooms into Benefactors Suites.

On June 9, 2006, three of these Benefactors Suites, were dedicated in the names of their underwriters Lori and Milton M. Ferrell, Jr., Esq., Fran and Sam Gordon, and Roberta and Jeff Kirsch. The suites were one of the first renovations completed for the Transformation Campaign which will help give Jackson a new look and feel for patients, clinicians and employees to enjoy.

Designed to ensure that every patient it accommodates has a five star experience, the suites come equipped with plasma televisions, a pull out couch for family members who may be accompanying patients, wood floors, deluxe cabinetry for extra storage and other amenities one would find at a luxury hotel.

The aim of the Transformation Campaign is to upgrade patients’ level of care, surroundings and overall experience at Jackson. This Transformation Campaign is critical in helping Jackson Memorial Hospital uphold its mission of providing quality care to all residents of Miami-Dade despite their ability to pay. This progress will provide for happier patients, and a healthier Jackson.

For additional information on this project or any other projects supported by Jackson Memorial Foundation, please contact Joan Bender, Vice President JMF at 305.355.4999.
