Staff Reports

Boca Raton Regional Hospital founder Gloria Drummond turned 80 this summer, but the hospital received the biggest present at her birthday party on
Sept. 30.
At the party, Christine Lynn announced a $10 million gift in Drummond’s honor to name the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute.
Lynn joked during her speech about having another building named after herself, but said in a statement, “I know that Gloria shares my wish that women in our community be afforded the finest, most advanced health care.”
The gift will be used to build a state-of-the-art facility for women’s services, said Jan Savarick, president of the Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation.
The hospital, founded in 1967 as Boca Raton Community Hospital, recently was renamed. It has 400 beds and more than 700 primary and specialty physicians on staff.
Lynn has a legacy of philanthropy in Boca Raton. She and her late husband, Eugene, were major donors to the College of Boca Raton, which renamed itself Lynn University in the Lynns’ honor.
Christine Lynn, a former nurse, also named Florida Atlantic University’s College of Nursing, and is on the board of trustees for Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Ú
