Our History
Eminat Medical Center (EMC) was founded in 2025 in Miramar, Florida, with one simple, firm idea: to put the person back at the center of healthcare. What began as a compassionate primary-care practice quickly grew into a full wellness center for South Florida’s Hispanic community.
Our roots reach back to late 2024, when we began our alliance with Eminat Research Group, a medical and social research institute focused on women’s health and childhood development. That union of clinical practice and research is what lets us deliver medicine that is evidence-based and guided by empathy.
In August 2026 we take a major step forward: we open our second location and, alongside it, launch Corazón Salud, our health-membership program designed so no family goes without care for lack of insurance.
- Late 2024 — Alliance with Eminat Research Group begins.
- 2025 — Eminat Medical Center is founded in Miramar, FL.

About Our Founder
Sandra “Vivi” Negrete, MBA — Founder
Born in Ecuador and shaped by deep human sensitivity, Vivi Negrete is an entrepreneur, leader, and firm believer that health begins with listening to the person. Beyond founding Eminat Medical Center, she serves as President of the Vivi Negrete Foundation — an emotional support network for women — and founded Eminat Research Group. She is an international speaker at emotional-leadership forums and host of the “Soy Vivi Negrete” podcast.
Her vision gave rise to EMC: a place where medicine doesn’t stop at treating an illness, but accompanies the whole person.
“I founded Eminat Medical Center out of the conviction that medicine should focus on the person, not just the diagnosis. Our purpose is to provide integral care that promotes prevention, well-being, and a better quality of life — accompanying each patient with empathy, respect, and clinical excellence.”
— Vivi Negrete

Thank you for entrusting us with your health and your family’s. We are here to walk with you through every stage.
