At the Education Foundation of Palm Beach County, we are proud to recognize Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Florida as a valued Champion of Education and a dedicated community partner supporting the health and well-being of our students, teachers, and school district employees.
Known as the Best in Orthopedics, HSS Florida provides expert orthopedic care for families across Palm Beach County through locations in West Palm Beach, Wellington, and Jupiter. As leaders in musculoskeletal health, HSS Florida offers specialized orthopedic care, sports medicine services, performance support for athletes, and youth concussion care through their Athlete Health program.
Whether someone is seeking a diagnosis, a second opinion, nonsurgical care, or joint replacement expertise, HSS Florida is committed to helping patients return to the activities they love most.
Why HSS Supports Education
For HSS Florida, education is a cornerstone of a strong and thriving community.
“Investing in students and educators helps shape a healthier, more empowered future,” their team shared.
As the health and wellness provider for employees of The School District of Palm Beach County, HSS understands firsthand the important role teachers and staff play in shaping student success. By supporting the Education Foundation, HSS extends that care beyond the clinical setting and into the broader educational community.
“When teachers and staff feel their best, they can focus on what matters most—supporting students and getting back to the things they need and love to do.”
A Natural Partnership Rooted in Shared Values
As an academic medical center dedicated to musculoskeletal health, education is deeply embedded in HSS Florida’s mission.Their commitment extends beyond patient care to educating future leaders in medicine and advancing research that improves treatment outcomes for patients everywhere.
This strong focus on education, innovation, and service made partnering with the Education Foundation a natural fit.
“Partnering with the Education Foundation aligns naturally with our belief that education brings about growth, progress, and strengthens future potential.”
Because HSS already serves School District employees through orthopedic care, supporting the Foundation became a meaningful extension of that relationship—helping uplift educators both inside and outside the workplace.
Making an Impact Through Heroes for Education
One of HSS Florida’s most impactful experiences has been their continued support of the Heroes for Education 5K.
For the past two years, HSS has proudly participated in the event, bringing both energy and expertise to the day. In 2025, their team not only joined the race but also led the pre-race warm-up for runners and walkers.
Their on-site presence allowed them to connect directly with district employees, students, families, and community members by offering guidance on injury prevention, performance readiness, and Athlete Health services.
“Opportunities like this allow us to extend our expertise beyond clinical care and support the health and safety of active individuals in the community.”
Their involvement reflects exactly what it means to be a Champion of Education—showing up, giving back, and helping others thrive.
A Message to Other Businesses
HSS encourages other businesses across Palm Beach County to invest in public education and experience the impact firsthand.
“Our experience partnering with the Education Foundation has been incredibly positive. Supporting public education is a meaningful investment in the future of Palm Beach County. We encourage other organizations to get involved—your support truly makes a difference.”
We are incredibly grateful for HSS Florida’s continued partnership, leadership, and commitment to improving lives both inside and outside the classroom.
Together, we are building stronger schools, healthier communities, and brighter futures.
