and their practices. Jupiter Medical Center has resources to help.
Providing Physicians
the Help They Need
Today, as always, it’s vitally important that physicians can focus on doing what
they do best – taking care of their patients, and ensuring patients receive the
care they need for conditions that impact their health and quality of life.
But the cancellation or postponement of many medical procedures and services
as a result of COVID-19 is placing significant financial strain on our nation’s
physicians and physician practices. Physicians have many people relying on
them, including their staff.
Jupiter Medical Center is here to help guide physicians through this challenging
time. To assist medical practices in the Palm Beach County and Treasure Coast
regions, we are providing resources to help physicians navigate potential
sources of relief funding and coordinate the rescheduling of elective
procedures.

Reassuring Our
Patients In Need
of Care
Patients need to feel confident that Jupiter Medical Center is taking all of the necessary precautions to safeguard their health and that of our team members when they come here for medical procedures.
As the #1 ranked hospital for quality, safety and patient satisfaction, Jupiter Medical Center has a long-standing reputation of providing the highest quality care in our region. To respond to COVID, we have implemented rigorous infection prevention and safety procedures. These include limiting access for visitors, screening every patient, team member, physician and supplier prior to entry, and adhering CDC guidelines for the use of personal protective equipment. We have also increased our already exhaustive cleaning and disinfecting procedures, including using Tru-D SmartUVC ultra-violet disinfection robots and continual cleaning of all patient and staff member areas by our environmental services team.
