This sold-out black-tie affair drew more than 500 guests for an evening that blended glamour with genuine purpose — supporting Cleveland Clinic’s plans to build a new hospital and expand outpatient services in West Palm Beach. A record-breaking paddle raise will help fund the emergency department at the hospital. Among the other highlights were the announcement of an endowed chair honoring cardiologist Jerry Estep, MD, established by Eric and Lois Zorn, and a conversation between Cleveland Clinic CEO and President Tom Mihaljevic, MD, and tennis legend Chris Evert, who spoke candidly about her cancer journey and the lifesaving care she received at Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital.
