Isaac Morris and Lucille Elizabeth Hay Professorship in Embryology

ISAAC MORRIS HAY, a general practitioner, established the first and only hospital in Melbourne, Florida, in 1929.

 

His wife, LUCILLE ELIZABETH HAY, assisted with administrative and caretaker duties in addition to raising three children. The private hospital weathered the Great Depression and eventually obtained much-needed outside support when it became the Brevard County Hospital.
