ABOUT DOCTORS HOSPITAL

On March 3, 1949, Doctors Hospital admitted its first patient – a mechanic from Pan American Airways. The hospital was the brainchild of renowned local surgeon John T. Macdonald, M.D., and three other physicians, AD Amerise, M.D., Joseph Lucinian, M.D., and Herbert Virgin, M.D., who realized the need for hospital beds in Coral Gables. In the wake of World War II, the community was booming as thousands headed south to build their post-war lives amidst our sunny shores. The community took pride in the two-story, 98-bed and 24-bassinet building. The staff was close-knit, and many lived in the area and socialized with each other. Much has changed in 75 years. But what hasn’t is our steadfast commitment to our mission of providing the highest quality care to our patients. Doctors Hospital, located in the heart of historic Coral Gables, has provided high-quality medical care to the community since 1949.
