Jupiter Medical Center understands that commitment to excellence in healthcare and has been working tirelessly since 1979 to incorporate the latest practices and protocols into clinical practice to provide patients with more options—and better outcomes. TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND TREATMENTS Significant investments in technology continue to underscore Jupiter Medical Center’s commitment to delivering the highest standard of care and have led to historic milestones in the delivery of life- saving treatments. The health system’s team of leading clinicians includes experts across disciplines who are skilled at utilizing the latest robotic-assisted and minimally invasive technologies. The hospital’s cardiac specialists were among the first in Florida to implement the VARIPULSE pulsed-field ablation platform for atrial fibrillation patients. The first robotic Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer in the region also was performed at Jupiter Medical Center. The hospital was also among the first in the region to administer the first and only FDA-approved gene therapy— ADSTILADRIN® (nadofaragene firadenovec- vncg)—for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and was among the first in the United States to employ the Galvanize Therapeutics Aliya™ Pulsed Electric Field Ablation System to treat lung tumors. When put into the hands of leading experts, orthopedic advancements are drastically improving patient outcomes. Jupiter Medical Center is unparalleled in the region for its breadth of cutting-edge, robotic- assisted solutions including the CORI™ robotic-assisted surgical system, Mako SmartRobotics™, and VELYS™ for surgical knee-replacement precision. In 2025, the hospital was the first in the region to introduce robotic shoulder replacement. EXPANDED FACILITIES, ENHANCED CAPABILITIES The recent grand opening of the Patient Care Tower expands Jupiter Medical Center’s ability to provide specialized care for hospitalized patients, with dedicated spaces for oncology, cardiology, and orthopedics. Thoughtfully designed spaces that adapt to evolving patient needs help facilitate innovative care practices that result in a higher quality of care and better outcomes for patients. The tower also includes space for a dedicated pharmacy, a rehabilitation gym, and advanced simulation labs to support in-depth training programs. The labs will equip nurses with critical skills for high-stakes medical situations and provide training in labor, delivery, and neonatal intensive care, ensuring clinicians stay at the forefront of an evolving healthcare landscape. RECOGNITION AND COLLABORATION Accolades from national publications and watchdog organizations illustrate the dedication of Jupiter Medical Center’s team and how that translates to exceptional care. The hospital has become synonymous with high-quality, patient-centered care in the region, far exceeding both national and statewide average ratings for patient experience year after year. A prestigious “A” grade in Patient Safety from the Leapfrog Group and recognition from Newsweek as one of the “World’s Best Hospitals” are among many more acknowledgements commending Jupiter Medical Center’s continual commitment to putting patients first. Recognizing Jupiter Medical Center’s long track record of excellence in orthopedics, the Hospital for Specialty Surgery (HSS) recently partnered with the health system to jointly deliver orthopedic care, expanding patient access to a full spectrum of world-class musculoskeletal services. HSS specialists will perform procedures at the state-of-the-art Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute.
