Event united community leaders and philanthropists to drive health care innovation
December 12, 2025 – Jupiter Medical Center Foundation proudly celebrated the 46th Annual Charity Golf Classic at the renowned McArthur Golf Club at The Backyard, marking another milestone in its commitment to advancing health care and enhancing the well-being of its community. Funds raised will support Jupiter Medical Center’s new Patient Care Tower and parking pavilion.
“For 46 years, our community has come together to advance health care in our region,” said Amit Rastogi, MD, MHCM, President and CEO of Jupiter Medical Center. “I’d like to extend special appreciation to Brad Faxon and Tom Fazio, two golf legends, for their ongoing leadership to make this event a sold-out success each year. Their dedication to our mission empowers us to continue to pursue ambitious innovation and growth. I would also like to thank McArthur for graciously hosting this tournament at their beautiful course.”
The Patient Care Tower is scheduled to open on Jupiter Medical Center’s main campus in January 2026. The five-story, 92-bed Tower will feature designated floors and teams for oncology, heart and vascular care, and orthopedics. This care model has been proven to enhance safety, expedite recovery, and deliver a better overall experience. An adjacent five-story, 800-space parking pavilion will open by the end of 2025.
The Charity Golf Classic featured world-class golf and networking all with a shared purpose: to increase access to the highest-quality health care in the region. Guests enjoyed a full schedule of activities, including an elaborate breakfast and cocktails, a lively lunch, and exciting contests, such as ‘Closest to the Pin’ and ‘Hole-in-One’ challenges.
“We are grateful to everyone who contributed to making our 46th Annual Charity Golf Classic a success,” said Traci Simonsen, Chief Philanthropy Officer of Jupiter Medical Center Foundation. “Each year, I am deeply moved by the generosity and spirit of our attendees, committee members, and sponsors. Your time, energy, and commitment make this event—and our mission—possible. Because of you, Jupiter Medical Center can continue delivering excellent, compassionate care that strengthens the health and well-being of our community.”
