Dr. Rolando DeLeon is bookending a long career in delivering babies.
Thirty four years ago he delivered his first baby at Mercy Hospital, a baby girl named Erica Ramirez. Recently he delivered her baby at Mercy, as he winds down his practice to be able to devote his time to teaching the next generation of OBGyns.
A long-time healthcare leader, Dr. Leon is the chair of the board of trustees of HCA Florida Mercy Hospital and currently is chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Nova Southeastern University.
“Delivering Erica’s baby in a way marks the eventual conclusion of one aspect of a career I have always enjoyed, which is delivering babies. I look forward to wrapping up my clinical life to devote myself to mentoring and guiding medical students toward their chosen careers.”
Joining in the happy moment are Erica, her wife Natalia Ortega and happy mom, Myriam Ramirez, who delivered Erica at Mercy 34 years ago. Congratulations to Dr. DeLeon for coming full circle with the birth of beautiful baby boy, Julio José Ortega.
