Jupiter Medical Center recently announced a $5 million gift from the Anderson Family Charitable Fund to create a dedicated, state-of-the-art orthopedic and spine unit.

The new full-floor home of The Anderson Family Orthopedic & Spine Center within the medical center’s planned Florence A. De George Pavilion will provide patients with seamless care, added comfort and a full range of related services – from preoperative classes and the latest minimally-invasive surgical procedures, to orthopedic rehabilitation.

Jupiter Medical Center has a high number of orthopedic surgeons performing Total Joint Replacement procedures in North Palm Beach and Martin counties, according to floridahealthfinder.gov.  Many on the team are pioneers in their fields, developing minimally invasive techniques and innovative devices.

Joint and spine patients are offered a full array of services within the new center. Focused on empowering patients to take an active role in their own wellbeing, the center will have spaces for preoperative classes, 30 private patient rooms with direct access to operating suites, a private dining area for the center's patients and their families, plus a dedicated inpatient rehabilitation unit.

Depending on patients’ needs at discharge, Jupiter Medical Center also provides sub-acute rehabilitation at The Pavilion on its campus, offers outpatient rehabilitation at various community locations and customizes ongoing exercise programs at Jupiter Medical Center’s Health and Rehabilitation facility.

With 37 independently practicing orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons on the center's medical team, patients have access to surgical techniques and equipment. Among the innovative, minimally-invasive procedures performed, for example, are 3D Knee replacement and quadriceps-sparing total knee replacement, as well as gender-specific total knee replacement for women.
