Honoring the Gift of Life

Honoring the Gift of Life

Michael Incorvaia, Jr. recently made a $50,000 gift of life insurance to the SONHS Simulation Hospital for Advancing Research and Education (S.H.A.R.E.™). This contribution was made in light of the donor's fondness for the University of Miami and its ability to leverage innovation for broader societal gains. Incorvaia is, and always has been, a big believer in technology. He's the consummate "super user," and has parlayed his tech savvy into a highly successful real estate business in Cleveland, Ohio. "My fascination with technology hasn't waned since childhood," he says. "For me, it wasn't just the latest video game fads, trends in home entertainment, or information processing systems that brought me joy, but the actual hands-on, integrative process of mastering technology to improve my family's everyday life. The Simulation Hospital perfectly embodies this sentiment, and it's why I'm extremely proud to support it." Family is the ultimate driving force for Incorvaia and his wife, Cara, who have three young daughters: Luciana (6), Natalia (3), and Carmen (1). They maintain close relationships with relatives and friends who live in South Florida, and frequently visit the area. With family members in the health care profession, the Incorvaias also have a strong appreciation for the importance of caregiving, both in the clinical environment and in the home. "For us, the ultimate gift is life," says Incorvaia, "so to have the opportunity to donate something toward the improvement and extension of other lives is the perfect way to honor the many blessings bestowed on our family."
