The development of the surgical
institute is in direct response to
the significant growth of the
community and corresponding
patient volumes. More than 15,000
traditional and minimally invasive
surgical procedures are performed
at Jupiter Medical Center annually.
The facility’s “smart” operating
rooms will accommodate complex
surgeries, while the hybrid
suites offer surgeons the ability
to transition from a minimally
invasive surgery to an open procedure, enhancing the patient
experience and improving outcomes. The “operating rooms of
the future” will use state-of-the-art equipment that is digitally
integrated. The surgical team will be able to access and transmit a
patient’s images from the operating room to additional specialists
for real-time consultation, resulting in a multidisciplinary,
comprehensive approach to care.
In addition to advanced operating rooms, the institute will
provide a spacious reception area for loved ones along with
private consultation rooms to meet the surgeon before or
after a procedure. Recognizing the importance of real-time
communication, leading-edge technology will be integrated
into the institute’s design, providing seamless updates from the
care team to a patient’s family.
“We are incredibly grateful and energized by the support
of our donors, especially Johnny and Terry Gray, who have
given generously to this project,” said Traci Simonsen,
interim chief philanthropy officer of Jupiter Medical Center
Foundation. “The community’s support can be felt when you
walk through our halls and connect with our medical team.
It is truly something special.”
