Jupiter Medical Center Expands Cardiac Surgery
Through Philanthropy
Philanthropist and businessman Leonard Abramson,
recently made a donation of $10 million to establish an
endowed chair of cardiac surgery at Jupiter Medical Center
(JMC). Abramson made the gift in honor of his beloved late
wife of 65 years, Madlyn.
To recognize Abramson’s generous gift, the new main
entrance to Jupiter Medical Center has been named the
Madlyn K. Abramson Plaza which features a water fountain
in her honor. This was not Abramson’s first gift to the Jupiter
Medical Center Foundation, “and I don’t expect it to be my
last,” said the JMC Foundation board member of more than
two decades. “I’m very impressed with their leadership, and
I’d like to help the hospital grow.”
In April of 2020, the medical center launched the Timothy
and Jayne Donahue Cardiac Surgery Program. Dr. Arthur Katz,
Medical Director of Cardiac Surgery and the current Madlyn K. Madlyn K. Abramson’s family pose in front of the water fountain at Jupiter Medical Center named in her honor.

Nanci Smith, the owner, has had a fabulous store in Wellington for years
but decided to expand in the Gardens 5 years ago. She couldn’t be happier
with that decision. She states, “I knew we would do well because our
Wellington clients expect a certain level of service and I felt we could deliver
that in a different way than others in the Gardens, Jupiter, Stuart area. Our
store was well received here and the time has come to expand. We also
fill a void for well curated artwork and accessories. Art is one of our top
categories, and it’s hard to find in the mid range price point. It’s either very
cheap or super expensive. People want original and unique pieces without
purchasing a name. We offer new and consigned items at a fraction of the
price and you can take it home today!”

Nanci Smith, CEO
Abramson Endowed Chair of Cardiac Surgery, has performed
more than 225 open heart surgeries at Jupiter Medical Center.
The additional philanthropic investment made by Abramson
is enabling Jupiter Medical Center to continue expanding the
breadth of innovative cardiovascular services to treat such
conditions as valvular heart abnormalities, atrial fibrillation and
aneurysms of the aorta. Treatments include transcatheter aortic
valve replacement (TAVR) for aortic stenosis, MitraClip for
leaking mitral valves, the WATCHMAN for AFib and minimally
invasive cardiac surgery.
“Since the launch of our cardiac program and the addition of
a minimally invasive cardiac surgeon, Jupiter Medical Center’s
capabilities have expanded to successfully treat nearly all cardiac
conditions” said Dr. Amit Rastogi, president and CEO, Jupiter
Medical Center.
Dr. Katz emphasized, “I am thrilled that we can now provide
our patients the full gamut of cardiovascular services offered by
our nation’s top academic medical centers.” Katz adds “We are
honored to welcome NYU trained Minimally Invasive Cardiac
Surgeon, Dr. William Kokotos, to Jupiter Medical Center’s
cardiac surgery program.”
“Len’s gift to cardiac surgery is creating a lasting legacy that
will allow cardiac patients the care they need close to home,”
said Mike Morsberger, chief philanthropy officer and president
of the Jupiter Medical Center Foundation.
