De George Pavilion Grand Opening Celebration The paint was dry, windows sparkled and patient rooms were ready to go - all that was left on the punch list was to host a grand celebration to usher in the $46 Million Florence A. De George Pavilion! On Wednesday, January 21, the Foundation joyfully welcomed more than 300 friends to the Grand Opening of this spectacular Pavilion. The 85,000 square foot state-of-the-art new tower with 44 new patient rooms, including an entire floor dedicated to the Anderson Family Orthopedic & Spine Center of Excellence, as well as a new Florence A. De George Children’s & Women’s Services obstetrics unit, opened to rave reviews. Continued on Page 4 Joseph R. Taddeo John D. Couris Community support has enabled us to greatly expand our medical services to treat more severe and complex medical cases. Our goal is to keep the momentum going so that we can continually provide the best possible healthcare for you, your family and the whole community. Some exciting, translational events are taking place: We recently held the grand opening of the Florence A. De George Pavilion, a $46 million, 85,000 square foot facility with a new expanded obstetrics unit, new orthopedics floor with private patient rooms and state-of-the-art technology throughout. We acquired many of the latest technologies and equipment: • The Xi model of the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System is now in use in the Frank E. and Mary D. Walsh Robotic Surgery Program. We are the second in South Florida, the third in the state of Florida and fifth in the country to have the Xi version of the robotic system. With our two robots, we have performed over 1,000 robotic procedures, and are a teaching site for the new da Vinci® technology. • We now offer the CyberKnife® M6TM, the most advanced technology available to remove tumors without surgery. We are the only hospital in Florida and one of a handful of hospitals in the U.S. to have this latest generation of CyberKnife. • New Electron Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy (e-IORT) technology enables our doctors to provide radiation therapy in the operating room during surgery, which can eliminate the need for patients to endure weeks of follow-up radiation. • An innovative system called MAKOplasty® greatly enhances partial knee reconstruction and can eliminate the need for a total knee replacement. JMC Foundation Giving Ways 2 Winter/Spring 2015 • An innovative system called MAKOplasty® greatly enhances partial knee reconstruction and can eliminate the need for a total knee replacement. • The Medical Center offers tomosynthesis or 3D mammography – the most sophisticated breast imaging technology on the market today, enabling our doctors to identify cancer at an earlier stage, when treatment is most effective. • In February, we announced a major collaboration with Mount Sinai Heart New York in cardiology, bringing a new level of cardiovascular care and expertise to our community. • We also launched a major collaboration with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital (formerly Miami Children’s Hospital) to bring inpatient pediatric care to Jupiter Medical Center with a pediatric inpatient unit, two pediatric operating rooms and a neonatal intensive care unit. • We have completed the first phase of our oncology strategic plan with the opening of the Margaret W. Niedland Breast Center in April 2015. Work has begun on Phase II, which includes construction of a new, comprehensive cancer center located on Military Trail. We could not accomplish any of these critical achievements without the support of donors like you. Your investment in Jupiter Medical Center produces meaningful results to improve your health care now. As we have said before, it’s not a question of if you will ever need Jupiter Medical Center, but a question of when. When you do, you can expect world-class healthcare right here close to your home.

Mount Sinai Heart New York is ranked among the nation’s top cardiovascular programs. Together, they’ve formed a partnership to bring the best heart care to residents in Jupiter, northern Palm Beach and throughout the Treasure Coast. “We are looking forward to growing this union between Jupiter Medical Center and Mount Sinai Heart New York so that the patients and families of South Florida and the entire state will have greater access to our proven model of treatment, care and research,” said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and CEO of the Mount Sinai Health System. “In Jupiter Medical Center, we have found an already-strong cardiac program that is committed to enhancing its care and contributing to our mission.” The partnership encompasses nearly all facets of cardiac care, including interventional cardiology, cardiac rehabilitation, electrophysiology, non-invasive diagnostics, congestive heart failure, wellness and prevention, and research and education. The benefits of Mount Sinai Heart New York at Jupiter Medical Center include, among other things: • Jupiter Medical Center and Mount Sinai Heart physicians will share knowledge, experience, best practice quality protocols and clinical pathways for better patient care. • Jupiter Medical Center physicians will have access to clinical consults with their Mount Sinai Heart New York colleagues and the partners will also use telehealth technology, which allows for remote sharing of information, images, lab results, and patient assessments in real time. • Innovative research protocols will be available to patients, including new cardiac therapies, and will increase treatment options. • For open-heart surgery, heart transplants or procedures not routinely performed at Jupiter Medical Center, local patients will have coordinated access, if they choose, to physicians and surgeons at Mount Sinai Heart in New York City. “Our experienced cardiac team at Jupiter Medical Center performs more than 1,000 procedures each year,” explained Gonzalo Loveday, MD, a veteran South Florida cardiologist who has been named Medical Director of Mount Sinai Heart New York at Jupiter Medical Center. “What’s exciting is the fact that this collaboration will allow us to access higher quality treatments for our community.” Central to the partnership is renowned cardiologist, Valentin Fuster, MD, Director of Mount Sinai Heart. “Mount Sinai Heart New York at Jupiter Medical Center will be a home-away-from-home for New York patients who winter in Florida and they will benefit from the seamless continuity of care,” said Dr. Fuster.

Butts 1923 - 2015 Long-Standing JMC Foundation Board Member George Butts, renowned Chrysler executive/designer and Jupiter Medical Center Foundation Board Member passed away at his Jupiter home on February 15, 2015. He was 91 years old. A graduate of Drexel University, he joined Chrysler as a student engineer in 1949 after serving as a Gunnery Instructor in the United States Navy. He received a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Chrysler Institute and began a long, illustrious career in product planning. In his 38 years with Chrysler, Mr. Butts was responsible for numerous design innovations, involved in engineering, stamping, assembly, and quality and productivity.

With the announcement of his retirement from Chrysler, former Chrysler Corporation Chairman Lee Iacocca noted that “George’s singular commitment to the principles of quality and productivity has spearheaded the company’s effort ‘To Be The Best.’ He held our feet to the fire on quality issues and further quality improvements will be built on the strong foundation George established during his four decades at Chrysler.” Mr. Butts was a board member of the Jupiter Medical Center Foundation for more than 20 years.

Anthony Addesa, MD, Medical Director of Radiation Oncology at Jupiter Medical Center with patient The CyberKnife® M6™ is a highly accurate robotic radiosurgery system capable of destroying cancerous and non-invasive tumors of various shapes, sizes and depths while protecting normal surrounding tissue. The Foshay Cancer Center at Jupiter Medical Center is the first – and only – center in Florida (and one of only a handful in the nation) to offer the CyberKnife® M6™. It’s a non-invasive, pain-free treatment option for patients who have inoperable or surgically complex tumors, or who may be looking for an alternative to surgery. And it is nothing short of amazing. The CyberKnife System contains a special device that moulds into various shapes as it moves to different positions. “So it’s doing its treatment and imaging at the same time,” explains Dr. Anthony Addesa, Medical Director of Radiation Oncology at Jupiter Medical Center. “If we’re treating a lung tumor, the CyberKnife is monitoring the movement of the tumor JMC Foundation Giving Ways 12 Winter/Spring 2015 within the lung in real time and making finite adjustments as we do that. We’re continually hitting a moving target. Even if a patient coughs and the tumor is suddenly in a different position, the CyberKnife tracks it and is capable of treating just the tumor.” Because the CyberKnife is non-invasive, it requires no anesthesia, no recovery time, and can be done on an outpatient basis. “Our mission at Jupiter Medical Center is to always provide the highest level of care possible, including using new technology when appropriate,” says Dr. Addesa. “Having performed stereotactic radiosurgery for more than 15 years now, I can attest that the M6™ technology is a leap forward in cancer care. It has the capability of treating patients and getting rid of their tumors in the least invasive way possible.” “I believe that the quicker you treat somebody and get them back to their normal lives, the better off patients are both medically and psychologically.” Bluewater Babes Check Presentation The Kristin Hoke Breast Health Program at Jupiter Medical Center was once again among the recipients of the Bluewater Babes Fish for a Cure October 2014 event.

WE’VE GOT IDEAS A gift to charity generates an estate tax charitable deduction, but what if your estate isn’t subject to tax? In 2015, the estate tax credit shelters estates up to $5.43 million. Many people, even those with estates in excess of the sheltered amount, avoid estate tax by leaving assets to surviving spouses, which qualify for the unlimited marital deduction. Even if estate taxes aren’t a concern, many people want to remember the organizations, such as Jupiter Medical Center Foundation, that have been important in their lives. Craig A. Moran Director of Major Gifts & Planned Giving Mary had a $50,000 charitable bequest to her favorite organization in Jupiter Medical Center Foundation her estate plan, but she changed her living trust to leave everything to her husband instead. No matter how large her estate, she will owe no estate tax, thanks to the marital deduction. But Mary is confident that her husband, who also loves the organization, will make the “bequest” for her. At her death, he can make a lifetime gift of $50,000 and will be entitled to an income tax charitable deduction, saving more tax than if she left the bequest in her estate plan. The Smiths have seven children and several grandchildren. Over the years they made annual gifts to the younger family members using the gift tax exclusion ($14,000 in 2015). Because of these gifts, the Smiths will have an estate that they anticipate will be completely sheltered from the estate tax. The Smiths have also been generous donors to various charities and would like to continue their support through their estate plan, but there would be no estate tax benefit for their bequests. Instead, the estate of the survivor will go to the children, who are aware of and share the parents’ philanthropic goals. The children can then make the gifts to charity in the parents’ names and receive income tax deductions that will save them money. George established a trust that, at his death, will pay all the income to his sister for life, along with any trust principal that the trustee deems appropriate. At his sister’s death, the remaining assets will be distributed to his favorite organization. Because this is not a qualified charitable remainder trust, no charitable deduction will be available. But because George’s estate is below the sheltered amount, the deduction is not important. The trust will not be tax-exempt, but George wants to ensure that his sister has the funds necessary for her comfortable support.
