Cook Community Receptions Highballs & Hibiscus – Pre & Post Events e-IORT On The Way! Key To The Cure Lighthouse Detox Open House Planned Giving: The What & Why Fish For Life News & More A Publication of Jupiter Medical Center Foundation First Phase of New JMC Oncology Campus to Open in 2015 “The goal of our hospital is to offer the best care and service in the best setting” Abraham Schwarzberg, M.D., Chief of Oncology at Jupiter Medical Center “That’s why we’re developing an oncology campus, bringing together the best physicians and the latest technology for diagnosis and treatment of various cancers – all in one convenient location.” Phase 1 of Jupiter Medical’s Center’s comprehensive oncology campus, to be located at 2111 Military Trail in Jupiter, will open with the relocation of the Margaret W. Niedland Breast Center in April, 2015. The new two-story, 26,000 sq. ft. center will offer breast cancer screening and diagnostics, utilizing state-of-the art breast diagnostic equipment, including 3D mammography (tomosynthesis), breast ultrasound, stereotactic biopsies that use mammography to pinpoint a breast spot needing removal, as well as a new and calming Caring MRI Suite, and C-View technology that creates diagnostic images with increased accuracy and reduced radiation exposure time. Continued on Page 4 Joseph R. Taddeo John D. Couris As we begin the new year, let us reflect on the milestones of the past 12 months and recognize those who made the accomplishments possible. It’s also time to be excited about the future. • Thanks to the generosity of the Walsh family, we established the Frank E. and Mary D. Walsh Robotic Surgery Program. It has been very successful, we recently acquired a second robot. Jupiter Medical Center is one of the first facilities in the world with the da Vinci® Xi™ system—technology that enables us to offer patients better outcomes. • The philanthropic support of David and Lynn Nicholson made it possible to open a second cardiac catheterization lab. This investment in technology and talent means we can all get state-of-the-art heart care, closer to home. Jupiter Medical Center just achieved Level I designation so our cath lab can now offer the latest methods to detect and treat heart disease, whether it’s a scheduled diagnostic test, an artery-clearing interventional treatment or a life-saving emergency angioplasty. • We established the Joe Namath Neurological Research Center and have begun an FDA-approved clinical trial to study if hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reverse the effects of traumatic brain injury. We’re working with Mr. Namath to raise $10 million to ensure appropriate patients may receive this promising experimental therapy, regardless of ability to pay. JMC Foundation Giving Ways 2 Fall/Winter 2014 • In a number of exciting ways, we are working to forever change the way cancer patients receive care in our community : • We have plans for a whole new oncology campus. We broke ground on the first phase of the project, the Margaret W. Niedland Breast Center. When completed, there will be nothing in our region like this center: 26,000 square feet dedicated to the most advanced imaging for women. The second phase will be the relocation of the Foshay Cancer Center. We’ll establish a new 75,000 square foot facility that will combine outstanding talent, technology and bright new hope for patients with all types of cancer. • We brought a breakthrough in radiation treatment into the operating room. This new method of intraoperative radiation is offered in just a handful of hospitals across the country, and in some cases can reduce weeks of radiation treatment down to a single dose. • We partnered with Scripps Florida for breast and lung cancer clinical research. • In the spring, Jupiter Medical Center will have the most advanced CyberKnife radiosurgery system in the Southeastern U.S. The CyberKnife® M6™ system is a non-invasive alternative to surgery for the treatment of tumors anywhere in the body. • In January, the highly anticipated Florence DeGeorge Pavilion will open. This 85,000 square foot expansion of our main campus will house the Florence DeGeorge Children’s and Women’s Program (Obstetrics), the new Anderson Family Orthopedic and Spine Center of Excellence, and a brand new kitchen, cafeteria, and physician dining area and lounge. • We have more work ahead to continue our evolution into an integrated health care system of care. More philanthropic support is needed to realize our vision for the Grossman Wellness Center and to complete the Frenchman’s Creek Center of Excellence for Digestive Health. We are reimagining the way health care is delivered in our community. Our goal is to be your world-class Medical Center. Your gifts of time and philanthropy to our Foundation will ensure an even more promising year ahead. Sincerely, Joseph R. Taddeo Chairman of the Board Jupiter Medical Center Foundation John D. Couris President & CEO Jupiter Medical Center JMC Foundation Giving Ways 3 Fall/Winter 2014 JMC ONCOLOGY CAMPUS PHASE 1TO OPEN IN 2015 / Continued from front cover Dr. Abraham Schwarzberg, Chief of Oncology at Jupiter Medical Center. The second phase of the oncology campus is the relocation of the Foshay Cancer Center from the main campus. In addition to external beam radiation and chemotherapy, this new 74,000 sq. ft. building will house CyberKnife technology to perform stereotactic radio surgery, CT simulation, integrative care, conference facilities, multidisciplinary clinic space and physician office space for medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists and other oncology related specialists. “Oncology has really moved away from taking care of a general group of patients,” Dr. Schwarzberg points out. “Personalizing and sub-specialization are the norm today. A general oncologist is becoming a thing of the past. Now, oncologists are specializing in specific areas, such as breast cancer or lung cancer. When the oncology campus is completed, all of the oncology services, specialties and sub-specialties will be under one roof, one umbrella. For example, if a patient goes to see their urologist, they can also see a medical JMC Foundation Giving Ways 4 Fall/Winter 2014 oncologist, radiologist and any other related specialists who are involved with their treatment – and see them all in one place. It’s a joint plan of action, with various physicians helping to provide the optimum medical solution. Dr. Schwarzberg predicts that as the volume and integration of services expands, there are other services that Jupiter Medical Center will add to what is already being provided. “Part of medicine is that you always need technologies and there are always new ways of doing things,” he stresses. “Our commitment is to ultimately improve and evolve. Because if you do it perfectly today, it’s not going to be perfect in two or three months. So you need to continue to evolve and some of that’s personal education, but it’s also community education and evolving technology.” Dr. Frank F. Cook Surgeon, Friend & Surfer Remembered The untimely passing of Jupiter orthopedic surgeon Frank F. Cook, M.D. on October 2, 2014 has left a deep void with family, friends and legions of grateful patients throughout the Jupiter Medical Center community. We at Jupiter Medical Center were fortunate to have Dr. Cook serve as our Chief of Surgery, as well as a key participant on numerous hospital committees. A native Ohioan, Dr. Cook moved to Florida during his high school years. He then attended the University of Florida and later the University of Florida College of Medicine where he graduated in 1980. He completed his orthopedic surgical residency at University of Florida College of Medicine JHEP - Jacksonville, where he met his future wife, Julie Shrewsbury. Dr. Cook was an avid sports enthusiast and began his private practice in Jupiter in 1986 specializing in Sports Medicine. Over the years, he would become an orthopedic consultant to the Florida Marlins, Montreal Expos, St. Louis Cardinals, and LA Dodgers. In 2009, he shifted his private practice to focus solely on sports injuries, including arthroscopic surgeries of the shoulder, elbow, knee and ankle. He was passionate about physical fitness, and was an active runner, swimmer and biker as well as playing baseball and other sports. But his greatest passion, next to his family, was the one for which he’ll be most remembered – surfing. He continually sought the perfect wave, and was a familiar face on Jupiter beaches and surfing haunts the world over. Our heartfelt sympathy to his family and many friends. May the surf always be up, Dr. Frank. JMC Foundation Giving Ways 5 Fall/Winter 2014 WE’RE ON THE WAY! Donors Push To Bring New Breast Cancer Surgery/Radiation Therapy To JMC! To date, Jupiter Medical Center has received $1,155,000 of the $1,400,000 goal to acquire Electron IntraOperative Radiation Therapy (e-IORT), a major advancement in breast cancer treatment. The therapy delivers a single, fractional dose of radiation directly to a tumor or tumor bed during surgery. By delivering radiation at the time cancerous tissue is removed, one treatment is the equivalent of six-weeks of post-operative treatment. “This is a highly accurate single dose of radiation because we can visually locate the exact target area or tumor bed and we are doing this when any potentially remaining tumor cells are at the most sensitive. At the same time, we are sparing surrounding normal tissue from radiation.” Anthony Addesa, M.D., Radiation Oncology Medical Director “This is a world-class breast cancer treatment option,” says Dr. John A.P. Rimmer, Medical Director of the Kristin Hoke Breast Health Program at Jupiter Medical Center. “Women will be able to receive their treatment more conveniently and accurately, in less time, with less radiation exposure, without comprising quality.” JMC Foundation Giving Ways 6 Fall/Winter 2014 JUPITER MEDICAL CENTER HOSTS C OMMUNITY RECEPTIONS Jupiter Medical Center is once again hosting receptions in the various communities this year to acquaint our friends and neighbors with the superior health care provided at Jupiter Medical Center from the physicians, to the staff, to the technology.

Because of this highly successful fishing tournament held in January 2014, Florida Fish for Life donated $15,000 to Jupiter Medical Center’s Foshay Cancer Center. Fred Miller, founder of Florida Fish for Life, was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2003 and he made it his mission to raise awareness of the disease and help others affected by it and, he has succeeded by all rights. Florida Fish for Life has raised a total of over $500,000 for cancer centers during its 11 years. Jupiter Medical Center is grateful for the impact Florida Fish for Life has had on cancer care for our community.

When we think about such gifts, it may seem natural to envision tax benefits, which is understandable. Congress has certainly provided many tax incentives to encourage private support of worthy charitable organizations. In truth, most of the thoughtful gifts and bequests we receive from our friends are motivated by reasons that have little to do with taxes: • • They believe in the mission we serve; • They have confidence in the people entrusted with guiding that mission; • They realize that a strong financial position is vital to our future; • They have a special interest in a particular area and want to provide for its support; • They know that their gift will yield great personal satisfaction. Craig A. Moran Director of Major Gifts & Planned Giving Jupiter Medical Center Foundation Our friends realize, of course, that substantial income tax and estate tax savings can result from their generosity. Consequently, they carefully plan their gifts to take advantages of these tax savings. In addition, major gifts to a charitable organization can be made in such a way as to preserve current income, or even increase spendable income. It is clear that your planned gift can be an excellent personal investment, resulting in significant tax rewards. Your planned gift, above all, will help Jupiter Medical Center Foundation meet the challenges – and the opportunities – of tomorrow. There is much that we would like to share with you on the “why” of helping a charitable organization such as Jupiter Medical Center Foundation. Please feel free to call our office. We hope to hear from you soon. Please call the Foundation at 561-263-5728 for more strategies that can help your tax situation and magnify your support for excellence in healthcare in our community.
