has started with Jupiter Medical Center Foundation's sold-out Highballs
& Hibiscus event. The 12th annual fundraiser, held for the second consecutive year at Eau Palm Beach

developing new strategic partnerships and expanding our geographic footprint
– all while maintaining a focus on quality, safety and patient experience
– has been made possible due to generations of supporters.”
