1. First Look Inside Boca Regional's New Hospital Patient Tower (bocaratontribune.com) — Boca Raton residents will soon have access to a new 216-bed Gloria Drummond Patient Tower at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, expected to start taking patients by late October once permits are finalized.

2. Downtown Boca Raton wellness club project along Sanborn Square moves forward, sparking mixed reactions (wptv.com) — Downtown Boca Raton residents should know a private social and wellness club near Sanborn Square just cleared the city's planning and zoning board, moving a major eight-story project closer to reality. The plan promises restaurants, fitness and rooftop amenities plus new tax revenue, but neighbors worry about traffic, parking, and overdevelopment around one of Boca's most beloved public gathering spaces.
3. West Boca Raton Man Sues Country Club Alleging Suspension Over Safety Complaints (TAPinto.net) — A longtime member of Stonebridge Country Club in West Boca Raton is suing the club, claiming his membership was suspended in retaliation for years of raising health and safety concerns. He's seeking more than $50,000 plus legal fees, alleging the club breached its membership agreement and unfairly kept his dues while denying him access and damaging his reputation.
4. David Robertson Keeps Telling Officials He Lives In The Oaks, Does Anyone Check? (bocanewsnow.com) — A man facing charges related to an alleged attempt to meet a teen for sex continues telling officials he lives in The Oaks of Boca Raton, even though county property records show the Monte Vista Drive home changed hands multiple times. Reporters note the address still appears in recent court and booking documents, raising questions about how his listed residence and bond collateral are being verified.
5. The 561 Face of Making Meaningful Connections for All (bocamag.com) — The Peter Blum Family YMCA of Boca Raton, led by executive director Bryan Hunt, is working to deepen connections for residents of all ages, from preschoolers to seniors.
