Jupiter Medical Center Receives $4 Million to Enhance Emergency Services

September 21, 2021

JUPITER, Florida (September 15, 2021) – Jupiter Medical Center’s Emergency Department is set to undergo a major expansion and renovation beginning in October. The Emergency Department is a critical entry point to the hospital and important for future growth and patient satisfaction.

The expansion is the result of gifts to Jupiter Medical Center Foundation - a $3 million gift from the Attilio & Beverly Petrocelli Foundation and a $1 million gift from Joyce C. Fisher. The gifts will enable the medical center to build a new wing, including eight fast-track bays to assist patients with less-acute medical needs, thereby improving wait times, enhancing the patient’s experience, and increasing the overall footprint of the existing Emergency Department. The renovation will include the purchase of advanced clinical equipment, spacious patient and triage rooms, a more functional layout for clinicians, with state-of-the-art technologies to handle higher patient volumes, and expansive waiting areas for loved ones. This expansion will augment a patient’s experience by providing a comforting environment with streamlined services to assist during a potentially stressful time. The new center will be named the Petrocelli Emergency Center.

“We are deeply grateful to the Attilio & Beverly Petrocelli Foundation and Joyce C. Fisher for their generosity towards Emergency Services. This gift will increase our ability to provide world class care with superb outcomes,” said Amit Rastogi, MD, President and CEO Jupiter Medical Center. “Jupiter is now the fastest-growing community in Palm Beach County. Due to changing demographics, and expanding service lines, we are experiencing a marked increase in volumes year round. The demand placed on our Emergency Department has made it a priority for us to expand this area of the hospital, ensure we are providing the highest level of patient satisfaction and to uphold our reputation as the preferred healthcare destination in Palm Beach and Martin counties.”

The current Emergency Department was renovated 15 years ago when Jupiter Medical Center was accommodating 21,000 patient visits per year. Today, Jupiter Medical Center cares for more than 40,000 emergency room patients annually, which is nearly a 100 percent increase in patient volume.

“We really feel that it’s important to give back to the communities we call home,” said Attilio and Beverly Petrocelli. “We have watched Jupiter grow in recent years and want to ensure that our family, friends and neighbors continue to have access to such a wonderful hospital so close to home.”

The Emergency Department serves as Jupiter Medical Center’s front door for many patients.

“Since the launch of our cardiac surgery program and comprehensive stroke center, our Emergency Department is also seeing higher acuity patients who are receiving world-class care, and world-class care deserves a world-class environment,” said Mike Morsberger, new Chief Philanthropy Officer and President of Jupiter Medical Center Foundation.
