Corporate leaders Joel Altman and Beverly Raphael-Altman have made a $2.5 million gift to Boca Raton Regional Hospital as the Keeping the Promise capital campaign celebrates historic fundraising success. The gift is in memory of Sydney Altman and will be recognized with the naming of the East Courtyard on the Boca Raton Regional Hospital campus.
Joel Altman recently sold Altman Companies, a full-service development, construction and management company specializing in luxury multifamily apartment communities, which he founded in 1968. Joel is also a past member of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation and past Chairman of the Strategic Planning Committee of the Hospital Board. Joel’s father, Sydney Altman, was the first President of the Hospital Foundation Board.
Beverly Raphael-Altman is the CEO and chairwoman of RCC Associates, the nationally renowned general contractor with headquarters in Deerfield Beach, FL. It was launched in 1971 behind the leadership of Beverly’s late husband, Richard. Beverly took over the reins of RCC, a company that already has brought more than a thousand projects to fruition through the decades, most notably in the culinary sector. Along the way, Beverly remarried, to husband Joel and enlisted her daughter, Robyn, who is currently the President and COO of RCC. She is proud they are female entrepreneurs in an industry typically devoid of them. Beverly was recently named the Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient for the South Florida Business and Wealth Prestigious Women Awards. Joel and Beverly have been staunch philanthropists in South Florida for many causes, including Baptist Health, and stand steadfastly behind Boca Raton Regional Hospital’s vision.
