About Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation
Philanthropy has been at the heart of healthcare transformation in Boca Raton for more than six decades. In 1962, Gloria Drummond and her dedicated army of volunteers founded the Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League, laying the foundation for a tradition of community support that continues today. In 1984, that legacy evolved into the Boca Raton Community Hospital Foundation, which later became the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation.
Today, as part of Baptist Health, the Foundation raises vital philanthropic support to advance patient care, drive medical innovation and promote community wellness. Together, we are helping transform healthcare and bring world-class care closer to home. Every gift makes a difference—and every donor plays a role in shaping the future of health and healing in our community.
Our History
Born out of tragedy, the Boca Raton Community Hospital (aka Regional) was built on the generosity of a community that believed in one woman’s mission. When Gloria Drummond’s two children died of poisoning because the nearest hospital was more than an hour away, she was famously quoted as saying, “Don’t send flowers… Send funds!”
A core group of 18 women helped organize the fundraising efforts to build the hospital, including the Fiesta de Boca Raton, which ultimately evolved into the hospital ball, still held today.
