Jupiter Medical Center and Jupiter Medical Center Foundation leadership, along with donors, board members, world-class physicians and community leaders, recently gathered for a special ribbon cutting in honor of the Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute. The celebration signified the culmination of the highly anticipated facility, which broke ground less than two years ago in April 2022 and is on track to open for patients after the holidays.

The 90,000-square-foot Surgical Institute features 16 smart operating rooms to accommodate complex surgeries and two hybrid operating suites, allowing the not-for-profit hospital’s renowned, highly-trained team of surgeons and clinicians to offer minimally invasive surgery as well as open procedures. Included in each of the rooms will be the latest digitally integrated state-of-the-art equipment. Leading-edge technology will ensure that team members can provide real-time communication to a patient’s family, near or far.

The Surgical Institute is in direct response to the significant growth of the community. Once open, the new facility will allow more procedures, complex cases and cutting-edge care. The expansive sterile processing department will ensure the highest level of patient safety. This translates to clinical excellence and better patient outcomes.
