Jupiter Medical Center is pleased to announce a $1.5 million donation to support the Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute. The funds were generously provided by the Jupiter Medical Center Auxiliary, the not-for-profit hospital’s volunteer organization, to create a state-of-the-art and tranquil family waiting area at the highly anticipated facility. In honor of the gift, the space will be named the “Jupiter Medical Center Auxiliary Lounge.”

The highly anticipated 90,000-square-foot Surgical Institute will feature 16 smart operating rooms and two hybrid operating suites. Through the community’s generous support, more than $52 million has been raised towards the $100 million project. In December, the hospital announced a transformative $25 million lead gift from Jupiter-based philanthropists Johnny and Terry Gray to name the institute. The development of the Surgical Institute is in direct response to the significant growth of the community and the corresponding need. More than 15,000 traditional and minimally invasive surgical procedures are performed at Jupiter Medical Center annually. The Surgical Institute is on track to open by the end of 2023.
