JUPITER, Fla. – On Wednesday, February 7, Jupiter Medical Center Foundation hosted its
annual Leaders in Philanthropy Dinner at Lost Tree Club. The night honored
the Foundation’s top donors whose philanthropy has helped to transform
Jupiter Medical Center, as well as continue to allow the hospital to recruit
the best physicians, acquire advanced medical technology, and build state-of-the-art
facilities.
Jupiter Medical Center Foundation has raised $135 million in the past three
years toward a $300 million campaign. “Thanks to the generosity
of these donors, we have transformed from a very good community hospital
to a world-class, regional medical center that spans from Stuart to West
Palm Beach,” said Liv Vesely, president of Jupiter Medical Center
Foundation.
Honorees of the evening included Tim and Jayne Donahue who were acknowledged
as Distinguished Grand Benefactors for their gracious gifts to the hospital.
The Mastroianni Family Foundation was welcomed as a Grand Benefactor,
and Bert and Sallie Korman, along with nearly 50 other philanthropic families,
were recognized in front of the crowd as new Benefactors.
Every donation counts in helping Jupiter Medical Center strive to meet
the region’s growing demand for critical health services such as
oncology, advanced cardiac care, expanded pediatric services and comprehensive
stroke care. To make a donation, visit jmcfoundation. org or call (561) 263-5728.
