      Jupiter Medical Center
      Raises Nearly $1.8 Million

      For COVID-19 Relief Fund

         Support from donors is needed to sustain Jupiter Medical
      Center at any time, but it is particularly critical in times of
      crisis. In the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jupiter
      Medical Center Foundation received nearly $1.8 million in
      philanthropic donations.
         “We are extremely grateful for the generosity of the
      community and our donors during this uncertain time,” said
      Liv Vesely, president of Jupiter Medical Center Foundation.
      “Gifts received are helping to offset losses due to decreased
      volumes, and have allowed us to purchase additional medical
      equipment to address the hospital’s highest priority needs.”  About Jupiter Medical Center Foundation  Center, The Anderson Family Orthopedic & Spine Center,
