Community Outreach

The Boca Raton Regional Hospital Outreach Program was established to promote philanthropy and build strong relationships in support of Boca Regional's mission: To provide quality healthcare to the community it serves. 

Recognizing the importance of reaching out to the community and continuing the tradition of providing quality healthcare, the Boca Regional Board of Trustees launched the Community Outreach Program in July, 1998.  Many of the approved programs fill local unmet needs and give Boca Raton Regional Hospital a significant way to become a collaborative partner, working with others to build a strong, healthy, and productive community. 

The following programs and partnerships exemplify the Boca Regional way of 'reaching out and giving back to the community':

PARTNERSHIP

       
  
The Smart Heart Program is a unique and award winning partnership between Boca Raton Regional Hospital and Boca Raton Fire-Rescue Services.  The goal is to promote cardiovascular community health by providing programs aimed toward prevention and education, for our community. Over the last 15 years the partnership efforts have grown to a variety of programs and services offered to our community.  All levels of American Heart Association CPR classes regularly to the community. 2 annual events offered are Smart Heart Day and Stroke Awareness which provides free blood pressure, total cholesterol, and glucose screening to our community.  In 2009 Smart Heart celebrated 15 years providing screenings to over 10,000 people.
