The Association for Healthcare Philanthropy honor was earned in three categories
Jupiter Medical Center Foundation has again been honored for the second consecutive year with the prestigious “High Performer” designation for fundraising revenue and productivity by the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP).
In its 2024 Report on Giving, the AHP, a leading authority recognizing outstanding health care philanthropy achievements, recognized the Foundation as a “High Performer” in three categories: “Overall Revenue High Performer,” “Overall Productivity High Performer,” and “Healthcare System Revenue High Performer.” The "High Performer" designation symbolizes Jupiter Medical Center’s commitment to achieving excellence in health care and maximizing the impact of philanthropy.
“We are honored to be recognized at the highest level by the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy,” said Amit Rastogi, MD, MHCM, President and CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. "As the region’s only independent, not-for-profit hospital, this recognition reflects the collective efforts of our hospital, donors and the communities we serve. It is equally a testament to our continued fiscal responsibility.”
Key achievements that contributed to the Foundation’s "High Performer" designation include:
- Jupiter Medical Center has fostered strong relationships with the community, leading to total philanthropic support among the top 25 percent of 158 hospital foundations nationwide who participated in the AHP Report on Giving survey in fiscal year 2023.
- The Foundation has also demonstrated exceptional fiscal responsibility and efficiency, achieving productivity scores among the top 25 percent of hospital foundations nationwide, ensuring that philanthropic contributions are maximized for the greatest impact on patient care.
“We take seriously the responsibility entrusted to us by our community to invest in the highest quality of health care,” said Traci Simonsen, Chief Philanthropy Officer of the Jupiter Medical Center Foundation. “Each donation given to our Foundation is more than a dollar; it is a commitment to our community to continue Jupiter Medical Center’s legacy of providing the best quality health care. I am grateful to everyone who continues supporting our efforts with their time and resources.”
