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.”
