JUPITER, Fla. – Like father, like sons. Nicholas Mastroianni II and his sons, Nicholas
Mastroianni III and Anthony, not only work side by side at their family-owned,
international development and finance company, but they also work together
to give back to the community. This week, the men, their wives, Jessica
and Sara, and their sister, Audrey Mastroianni, participated in a groundbreaking
ceremony at the hospital to celebrate the Mastrioianni Family Foundation’s
generous donation of $3 million to establish Jupiter Medical Center’s
much-needed Pediatric Emergency Department. The new facility will be named
the Mastroianni Family Pediatric Emergency Department.
“As a father of three young girls, the well-being of my children
is always on my mind. If your child is sick or injured and needs emergency
services, I want them to get the best treatment possible. With this donation,
we hope we can make the emergency room experience less intimidating for
parents and their young children by separating them from the adult emergency
room and having dedicated pediatric physicians available 24/7,”
said Mastroianni III.
The 6,300-square-foot Mastroianni Family Pediatric Emergency Department
will be located next to the hospital’s current emergency room, but
will offer services in a more child-friendly environment. The unit will
feature eight pediatric treatment rooms, a dedicated family waiting area,
pediatric triage rooms to reduce wait times, and indoor play areas to
alleviate anxiety.
Along with these amenities, there will always be a pediatrician on-site,
and patients will have access to a team of pediatric-trained doctors and
nurses equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical problems.
Patients can also receive pediatric specialist consults, as well as inpatient
care through the De George Pediatric Inpatient Unit, when needed. Parents
can be assured their children will receive world-class care from Jupiter
Medical Center and its pediatric partner, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.
“As a non-profit hospital we rely heavily on support from the community,
which allows us to deliver top-quality health care,” added Liv Vesely,
President of Jupiter Medical Center Foundation. “With the creation
of the Mastroianni Family Pediatric Emergency Department, parents won’t
have to travel to other parts of South Florida to get pediatric emergency
care for their kids.”
The Mastroianni Family Pediatric Emergency Department is expected to open
in late 2018. Mastroianni II said, “I’m humbled to be a part
of this new era at Jupiter Medical Center. My family wants to make sure
other families feel more comfortable and at ease when making a visit to
the ER with young children.”
