Jupiter Medical Center (JMC) and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have partnered to advance orthopaedic care in South Florida, US.

The collaboration aims to increase access to musculoskeletal services, providing patients with comprehensive support from diagnosis and surgery through to rehabilitation.

Through the partnership, patients will be offered a broad range of services in sports medicine, joint replacement, rehabilitation and spine surgery.

HSS physicians will conduct surgeries at the new Johnny and Terry Gray Surgical Institute at JMC. The hospital is finalising a five-storey patient care tower, which will include dedicated facilities for rehabilitation and orthopaedic care.

JMC president and CEO Amit Rastogi said: “Jupiter Medical Center and HSS share a commitment to excellence in patient care. This relationship ensures that people in our community have direct access to the same orthopaedic expertise trusted by patients of all kinds worldwide, including professional athletes.”

HSS president and CEO and surgeon-in-chief emeritus Bryan Kelly said: “This collaboration reflects a unique depth of shared responsibility and opportunity to increase access to the world’s highest quality orthopaedic care in Palm Beach County.

“Jupiter Medical Center’s continued investment in innovation and technology aligns seamlessly with our mission to provide the best orthopaedic care available anywhere.”

Established in 1863, HSS is an academic centre focused on musculoskeletal health. It serves as the official hospital for 15 professional sports teams globally and for the entire UFC league.

JMC offers inpatient and outpatient services across cardiovascular care, neurosciences, orthopaedics and women’s and children’s health.
