Jupiter has another important bigtime resident who's outta this world -- or at least its services are. Jupiter Medical Center consists of a nearly 160-bed, not-for-profit hospital and a 120-bed, sub-acute long-term care facility in Jupiter, Florida (just north of West Palm Beach). Specialty services include cancer treatment, cardiology, orthopedics, emergency medicine, wound care, birthing, and pain management. The hospital is affiliated with the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine. Established in 1956 as the convalescence center for a retirement village, the medical center was transformed into a full-service acute-care hospital in 1979.
