Nearly 450 of the region’s top philanthropists, business icons, and Jupiter Medical Center’s biggest supporters attended the foundation’s 46th Annual Black-Tie Ball, which raised more than $1 million for the new Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute.
Jupiter Medical Center Foundation returned to The Breakers for the fundraiser on March 4, 2023. Jeffrey and Lee Ann Alderton chaired the event along with Noel Martinez, president and CEO of the Northern Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce, who served as emcee.
“We are honored to support this signature event and shine a spotlight on the tremendous healthcare advancements happening in our region,” said co-chair Jeffrey Alderton. “Jupiter Medical Center is second to none in providing quality health care and excelling in patient advocacy. We are proud to be associated with JMC and all they do for our community.”
The event was another boost for the Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute, expected to open at the end of 2023. A little over half of the funds for the $100 million project have been raised to date. The highly anticipated 90,000-square-foot complex will feature “operating rooms of the future,” built with state-of-the-art “smart” equipment.
“This Surgical Institute supports our vision to deliver world-class health care to our region,” said Amit Rastogi, MD, MHCM, President and CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. “Philanthropic support is vital to our hospital’s not-for-profit mission. We are so grateful for these funds, which will help us deliver the highest levels of clinical excellence and better outcomes for patients.”
