A $3.75 million gift has been given to the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in memory of orthopedic surgeon Ronald Hinds, MD.
Dr. Hinds passed away one year ago at the age of 89. His daughter, Julie Franklin, and son-in-law, Martin Franklin, made the gift to establish the Dr. Ronald B. Hinds Department of Medicine Endowed Chair, according to a June 4 press release.
The endowed chair will support research efforts of a senior faculty member in the school's department of medicine.
