“Steve and I are strong supporters of the hospital and we have seen the challenges the entire staff has faced since the start of the pandemic,” explained Ms. Schaefer. “This just seemed like the ideal time to give back to Boca Regional and make a second donation. We want our gift to be an example to others in the community – it has never been more important to ensure the future of the hospital for generations to come.”
The need to modernize the hospital campus has been further emboldened by the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the value that private patient rooms bring to the health and wellbeing of patients. Smart technology for efficient and effective communication can also help minimize the spread of infection and disease. In addition, the currently under construction Toby and Leon Cooperman Medical Arts Pavilion will offer brand new outpatient treatment and ambulatory surgery options – reducing hospital traffic.
