Jupiter Medical Center has opened a new $135-million, five-story, 133,000-sq.-ft. tower that will add 92 patient beds, bringing the hospital's capacity to 340. The Tim and Jayne Donahue Patient Care Tower was designed by Nashville-based architecture firm ESa and built by Birmingham, Ala.-based Robins & Morton. It will include oncology, cardiovascular and orthopedic services, as well as a clinical simulation center for training, professional development and testing new technologies.
"Our construction partners brought deep health care expertise and a collaborative mindset to this project," says Jupiter Medical Center President and CEO Amit Rastogi, "helping us deliver advanced specialty floors, a state-of-the-art clinical simulation center, and infrastructure designed to support innovation and growth well into the future."
Tim Donahue is the former president and CEO of Nextel Communications. He and his wife, Jayne Donahue, donated $35 million toward the construction of the new patient tower. — By Brian Hartz
