Win-Win for Palm Beach County

Jupiter Medical Center was honored again this year because we were named to HealthGrades America’s 50 and 100 Best Hospitals for 2012 for the second year in a row. HealthGrades is a national healthcare ratings organization that researches hospitals across the country.

The award is one more validation from an independent source. Just this year, JMC also received the Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence; Emergency Medicine Excellence Award; Pulmonary Care Excellence Award; and Stroke Care Excellence Award.

The Tenet proposal is not for an academic teaching hospital or a specialty research hospital. According to Tenet’s official application, the proposed hospital will provide “routine medical/surgical services to patients of the immediate area.”

What does that mean to you?

Your healthcare costs could rise and current jobs will be lost because the new hospital would simply be an unnecessary duplication of existing services. Read the truth about the proposed project.
