Coral Gables-based Baptist Health South Florida opened the Gloria Drummond Patient Tower at Boca Raton Regional Hospital Nov. 9.
The eight-story, 427,000-square-foot tower is the centerpiece of the system’s largest campus, with 216 patient rooms, 20 operating rooms, an intensive care unit and expanded surgical and cardiovascular services.
The expansion makes Boca Raton Regional the largest hospital in Palm Beach County, with 561 beds, according to Baptist Health South Florida CEO Lincoln Mendez.
The tower was named after Gloria Drummond, who helped establish the hospital in 1971. Baptist South Florida raised over $450 million through its “Keeping the Promise” campaign to fund the tower and the campus’ further expansion.
