(Palm Beach, Fla.) – Cleveland Clinic, a global leader in healthcare with a strong and growing presence across South Florida, will host its highly anticipated Palm Beach Ball on February 21, 2026, at The Breakers Palm Beach. This annual benefit unites community leaders, benefactors and healthcare visionaries in support of Cleveland Clinic’s mission to advance medicine and deliver world-renowned care.
The black-tie evening begins with cocktails during the welcome reception, followed by a four-course dinner and live entertainment. Chairing the annual benefit are Monica and Mike Maroone. The Grand Honorary Chairmen are long-time Cleveland Clinic supporters Kathryn and Leo Vecellio. The host committee includes Lynn Connelly and Stephen Ross, Beth and Sean Lang, Marie and Andy Unanue and Andrea and Steve Wynn.
“Proceeds from the Palm Beach Ball will directly support the development of a state-of-the-art hospital and an expansive outpatient and ambulatory surgery center in West Palm Beach,” said Dr. Conor Delaney, Executive Vice President of Cleveland Clinic and President, Cleveland Clinic Florida Market. “With a goal of $500 million, we are pleased to share that we are closing in on $155 million in fundraising commitments. By supporting our annual Ball, you are helping to further Cleveland Clinic’s commitment to providing exceptional healthcare close to home. We hope to see you on February 21st.”
The planned hospital on Australian Avenue will feature approximately 200 inpatient beds. It will include an emergency department with state-of-the-art technologies and treatments. A broad range of specialties will be provided with the flexibility to adapt and add specialty care as the needs of the Palm Beach community evolve. Priority specialties initially will include heart and vascular care and surgery, neurological treatment and surgery, stroke response and treatment, digestive disease care and surgery, cancer treatment and surgery and emergency services.
In addition, a new facility at 15 CityPlace will quadruple Cleveland Clinic’s current outpatient square footage and place the outpatient facility within blocks of the new inpatient hospital for a seamless, integrated patient experience. Services not currently offered will be available in the new outpatient clinic, including ambulatory surgery and concierge medicine.
