Jupiter Medical and UF Health Announce Plans To Shape Health System of the Future

Jupiter Medical Center and UF Health, the University of Florida’s academic health center, announced that they have entered into a letter of intent to develop plans to transform health care delivery, research, and education in Palm Beach and Martin counties and surrounding communities.

The relationship would advance the organizations’ complementary missions of providing the best in academic and community medicine. Together, Jupiter Medical Center and UF Health will plan the development of jointly owned and operated clinical facilities in the region. In addition, discussions are set to begin on the development of novel clinical and hospital programs and service lines, as well as programs and services that support the translation of research findings into treatments that improve patient outcomes.

“We are seeking to expand our impact on the health and well-being of the residents of Palm Beach and Martin counties, bringing additional services to match the needs of patients in the area,” said David R. Nelson, M.D., senior vice president for health affairs at UF and president of UF Health. “As an academic health center, we have assembled multi- and interdisciplinary teams whose focus is on addressing problems and devising solutions that may not be readily available elsewhere. Jupiter Medical Center already has a stellar track record of high-quality care, and together we will take health care to a new level.”
