A Generous Heart

Boca Raton resident Eleanor R. Baldwin made her second seven figure gift to Keeping the Promise, The Campaign for Boca Raton Regional Hospital for a gift total of $7.5 million. 

“There is no way to characterize the level of gratitude we feel for Eleanor,” said Lincoln Mendez, the hospital’s CEO. “She is another long-tenured member of our family at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. This campus-wide initiative and capital campaign will have a significant impact by her participation, by her investment in our future and mission and by her love of the hospital.” 

Her donation will be recognized by naming the Bistro in the new Gloria Drummond Patient Tower as well as on the new parking facility to be located across Meadows Road adjacent to the future Toby and Leon Cooperman Pavilion. 

A retired educator, Baldwin taught for 34 years, mostly in Broward County high schools. She was a university supervisor of student teachers at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton and is President of the Baldwin Family Foundation. She served on to the Board of Trustees of Northwestern University from 1995 until 2003 and is currently a member of the Medical Affairs Committee of the Northwestern Board of Trustees. Baldwin received her Bachelor of Arts Degree from Smith College and a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Northwestern University.

The $250 million Keeping the Promise campaign is the largest campaign in the hospital’s history.

“It should be important to all of us in Boca Raton and the surrounding communities to have the best, most sophisticated care we could possibly have,” said Ms. Baldwin. “I trust our leadership implicitly as they chart our path for the future of medicine in our area.”
