Nick Mastroiann­i II, the developer of Harboursid­e Place, and the Mastroiann­i Foundation donated $3 million to the Jupiter Medical Center to establish a pediatric emergency department.

“As a father of three young girls, the well-being of my children is always on my mind. If your child is sick or injured and needs emergency services, I want them to get the best treatment possible. With this donation, we hope we can make the emergency room experience less intimidati­ng for parents and their young children by separating them from the adult emergency room, and having dedicated, pediatric physicians available 24/7,” said Nickolas Mastroiann­i III, Nick Mastroiann­i’s son.

Nicholas Mastroiann­i III and his brother Anthony work with their father at Allied Capital & Developmen­t of South Florida, a Jupiter-based internatio­nal developmen­t and finance company.

The 6,300-square-foot Mastroiann­i Family Pediatric Emergency Department will be next to the hospital’s emergency room. Plans call for eight pediatric treatment rooms, a dedicated family waiting area, pediatric triage rooms and indoor play areas.

The unit is expected to open in late 2018.

“I’m humbled to be a part of this new era at Jupiter Medical Center. My family wants to make sure other families feel more comfortabl­e and at ease when making a visit to the ER with young children,” said Nick Mastroiann­i II.

Founded in 1979, JMC is a notfor-profit, 327-bed, regional medical center consisting of 207 private acute-care hospital beds, and 120 long-term care, sub-acute rehabilita­tion and hospice beds. The town’s largest employer, JMC has about 1,600 team members, 615 physicians and 640 volunteers.
