History

In 1962, Gloria and Robert Drummond’s two young children, Debra and James Randall, were fatally poisoned. Had medical treatment been closer than 30 minutes away from Boca Raton, the children’s lives may have been saved. The Debbie-Rand Memorial Service League was formed that year with the mission of raising the funds needed to build a medical facility in Boca Raton. Outside consultants were called in who informed the league that Boca Raton would never warrant a hospital. By 1967, the league had raised $3.5 million and “The Miracle on Meadows Road” was opened with 104 beds on July 17 of that year.[1]

On August 19, 2010, the hospital announced that it was changing its name from Boca Raton Community Hospital to its current name.[2]

gollark: Computer stuff just tends to have hilariously stupid amounts of security vulnerabilities in everything, and brains at least... probably less so, since most of them would require physical access probably maybe hopefully.
gollark: Apparently?
gollark: No, you consume it too sometimes.
gollark: Yes, I probably wouldn't trust any complicated computer stuff with much brain access, realistically.
