$35 million donation, the largest in JMC’s history, earmarked to
support Patient Care Tower
Jupiter, FL – January 7, 2026 – Jupiter Medical Center today announced a transformative $35 million philanthropic gift from Tim
and Jayne Donahue, marking the largest gift in the independent, not-for-profit
hospital’s history and a milestone for health care in Palm Beach
County and the Treasure Coast. The funds are earmarked to support the
regional medical center’s new Patient Care Tower. The $135 million
building is on the hospital’s main campus at 1210 S. Old Dixie Highway
and is scheduled to open later this month. As the lead gift, the tower
has been named in their honor. The Tim and Jayne Donahue Patient Care
Tower signage was unveiled at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 7,
marking a historic moment for the institution.
“On behalf of our patients, medical staff, and the entire community,
we are profoundly grateful to Tim and Jayne Donahue for this historic
investment,” said Amit Rastogi, MD, MHCM, President and CEO of Jupiter
Medical Center, while making the announcement during a ribbon-cutting
ceremony to celebrate the Tower. “Their donation accelerates our
vision to expand access to exceptional care, strengthens our specialty
programs, and honors the promise that every patient deserves the highest-quality
health care close to home."
The 92-bed, five-story facility will expand the hospital’s inpatient
capacity, bringing its total to 340 beds. Additionally, the Tower is organized
by medical specialties, featuring state-of-the-art oncology and cardiovascular
floors, as well two dedicated orthopedic floors, each with rehabilitation
services. This care delivery model has been shown to result in the best
possible outcomes, as the clinical teams on the floors encompassing doctors,
nurses, specialists, and beyond—will be specifically trained to
care for these patients. The Tower also features a high-tech Clinical
Simulation Center dedicated to providing hands on training, skills development,
teamwork, communications testing, workflows and new technology to promote
innovation and ensure the highest levels of patient safety. The building
sits adjacent to a newly opened five-story parking pavilion.
“We chose to give because Jupiter Medical Center is more than a hospital;
it’s a lifeline for our growing community,” said Tim and Jayne
Donahue. “We were inspired by its culture of putting patients first,
its award-winning care, and the hospital’s leadership and bold vision
for the future. Our gift reflects our belief in giving back and ensuring
that exceptional care stays close to home for generations to come. This
is a gift for many, not just a few.”
