Naples hospital gets $7.5M donation for orthopedic surgical center

The Hospital for Special Surgery, a New York City-based musculoskeletal health organization that dates back to 1863, has received a $7.5 million gift that will support construction of a new orthopedic surgical center in Naples. 

The funds come from the Kapnick Foundation, according to a statement, and the surgical center is the “centerpiece of HSS’s collaboration with Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) as they advance their mission to provide high-quality orthopedic care to residents of Southwest Florida.” 

The money from the foundation comes from Scott Kapnick, a top executive at Goldman Sachs for 21 years, including one stint overseeing investment banking and another as co-CEO of Goldman Sachs International. Kapnick is now CEO of HPS Investment Partners, one of the world's biggest alternative credit managers with $114 billion in assets, according to Forbes. Kapnick, with a net worth of $3.6 billion according to Forbes, founded New York-based HPS in 2007.
