Hospital Will Name Patient Admissions Area to Recognize Gift
BOCA RATON, FL – June 30, 2020 – Boca Raton Regional Hospital has received a significant commitment from
Mason Slaine, in the amount of $1.5 million, towards
Keeping the Promise…The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Mason joins other notable philanthropists throughout our community who
have generously contributed seven and eight-figure gifts to the capital
campaign that now boasts $163 million raised thus far. In recognition
of Mason’s generosity, the new Patient Admissions Area in the new
patient tower will be named in his honor.
“Mr. Slaine has been an extraordinary advocate and very active in
our plans since he became involved with Boca Regional a few short years
ago,” said Lincoln Mendez, CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital.
“We are delighted to have him as a member of our family, as a Foundation
Board member and as a lead donor to our
Keeping the Promise campaign.”
Slaine has served on both the Executive and Audit Committees since he joined
the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation in 2016. His $1.5 million
gift is his second major philanthropic effort for Boca Raton Regional
Hospital: Mason made a similar generous gift to the Marcus Neuroscience
Institute a few years ago. In exchange for that gift, the Courtyard adjacent
to the Institute bears his name and welcomes staff and visitors to a convenient
and enjoyable outdoor space for a break and some respite.
“Our community’s healthcare is vital, and that has been particularly
understated in the last few months as we all navigate through COVID-19,”
said Slaine. “I have always believed that Boca Regional is uniquely
qualified to provide the highest quality of care we all need. I have personally
utilized medical services, as well as family members have been cared for
at the Hospital, so the facility and the people hold a special place in
my heart. I believe in
Keeping the Promise and in the next generation of healthcare it will bring. I am proud to
be part of it.”
The $250 million
Keeping the Promise campaign is the largest campaign in the hospital’s history. It is
supporting major campus redevelopment plans including at the centerpiece,
a new patient tower featuring all new surgical suites, an inviting patient
lobby and all private patient rooms exceeding the latest safety standards
for patient care. The Marcus Neuroscience Institute staff and capital
investments are underway targeting all neuroscience programs with an emphasis
on neurovascular/stroke, central nervous system, tumor, spine and epilepsy/seizure
disorders. In the current hospital building, all existing rooms will be
converted to private in a comprehensive renovation of all patient units.
A new 972-car parking garage opened recently and will be connected to
the Marcus Neuroscience Institute and the new tower when construction
is complete. These investments are the initial steps toward an even broader
vision for the campus with greater access points and even more specialties
including a new Medical Arts Pavilion with an outpatient surgery center,
physician offices and an additional parking garage.
