Jupiter Medical Center has announced a record-breaking $35 million philanthropic gift from longtime supporters Tim and Jayne Donahue. The lead gift will support the hospital's new $135 million Patient Care Tower, a 92-bed, five-story facility scheduled to open on the hospital's main campus. In recognition of the donation, the building has been named the Tim and Jayne Donahue Patient Care Tower.

Why it matters

The new tower will expand Jupiter Medical Center's inpatient capacity to 340 beds while introducing a specialty-based care model with dedicated floors for oncology, cardiovascular care, and orthopedics. The facility will also house a Clinical Simulation Center for hands-on training and testing of new medical technologies, further enhancing the hospital's capabilities to serve the growing northern Palm Beach County community.

The details

The new Patient Care Tower features two floors that integrate inpatient treatment with rehabilitation services, and each specialty floor will be staffed by multidisciplinary teams trained specifically for those patient populations. The building sits adjacent to a newly opened five-story parking pavilion.
