When Ohio State University (OSU) opens its emergency medical department in 2014, it will most likely be named after clothing company Abercrombie and Fitch, the Columbus Dispatch reported.

OSU's Wexner Medical Center is undergoing a $1.1 billion expansion that is set to be completed in 2014. If the vote on the naming deal is approved, the new department will be called the Abercrombie and Fitch Emergency Department.

The OSU Board of Trustees will vote Friday on the proposal that would also give the medical center a $10 million donation from the clothing company.

"As a nonprofit health system, we value and recognize the benefits of philanthropic support to our endeavors to improve health care in our community," Bob Mackle, a medical center spokesman wrote in a statement.

Abercrombie and Fitch has already donated large amounts of money to OSU's medical center and has two funds and a faculty position named after it. The clothing chain's previous donations resulted in the naming of the Abercrombie and Fitch Women's Oncology Center Endowment Fund, the Abercrombie and Fitch Fund (and Chair position) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

"This naming is in recognition of the company's long history of philanthropic support of patient care at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, which now totals over $10 million," Dr. Steven Gabbe, CEO of the medical center, said in a statement. "As a nonprofit health system, we value and recognize the benefits of philanthropic support to our endeavors to improve healthcare in our community. It's through such generous gifts that we're able to provide the very best in patient care, research and education."

Abercrombie and Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries has recently come under public scrutiny for saying his company only hired and sold clothing to attractive people. They are often criticized for using sex appeal to market clothes and alienating overweight people by not selling extra-large clothing.

An OSU spokesman declined to comment on Jeffries' controversial comments, but Nationwide Children's spokeswoman Pam Barber said charitable donations are accepted as just that.

"Abercrombie & Fitch is one of the many Columbus-based companies which have chosen to invest in the health and well-being of children in this community and throughout the world," Barber wrote in a statement. "Nationwide Children's is grateful to all donors who choose to support the hospital."
