Miami, FL – VIP Universal Medical Insurance Group, LLC (VUMI), a leading international provider of medical insurance, announced a partnership with Jackson Health System and the renaming of the International Patient Reception Center at the flagship Jackson Memorial Hospital. VUMI has provided a $2 million contribution to the Jackson Health Foundation. These funds will go to support the Miracle Fund of the Jackson Health Foundation, the fundraising arm of Jackson Health System.

“VUMI is not your average international insurance company. Our goal is to provide all of our clients with a VIP experience and we believe the medical care and service provided by Jackson Health System aligns with our mission,” said David Rendall, CEO at VUMI. “VUMI is committed to the Latin American market for the long term which has been demonstrated by our $2 million contribution.”

The VUMI International Patient Reception Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital is an upscale oasis for international patients and their families. The center features first-class hospital amenities, in addition to luxurious waiting areas, examination rooms, and a full-service business center. The center is staffed 24 hours a day with hospitality coordinators to assist with every aspect of the patient’s stay. All of Jackson’s international patients are welcome to use the facility and services provided by the center.

Keith Tribble, CEO of Jackson Health Foundation said, “We are thrilled to partner with VUMI. We can’t say enough about this generous donation for the renaming of the International Patient Reception Center. The VUMI International Patient Reception Center is a landmark facility that will provide assistance and comfort to our visiting patients and their families coming from the Caribbean, Latin America and the rest of the world. It’s never easy when any member of your family is ill. But, we are thrilled that VUMI is easing that burden by making families more comfortable during their visit.”
