The new Star and Barry Tobias Ambulatory Campus – Better Health Starts Here

C

cutting and dedication ceremony

for the new Star and Barry Tobias

Ambulatory Campus on September 25

to celebrate the bright future of

community health.

The campus was named in honor of a

couple from Manalapan, with close ties

to CentraState, in gratitude for a gift of

$2.125 million from the Peter Jay Sharp

Foundation, the largest donation in

CentraState’s history.

Mr. Tobias is CFO and treasurer of The

Peter Jay Sharp Foundation. Officials

with The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation,

New York City, made an outright gift of

$1 million toward the construction of the

$48 million campus, and agreed to match

$25,000 of donations $25,000 or greater,

up to an additional $1.125 million.

According to Mr. Tobias, an important

focus of the Sharp Foundation’s mission

is promoting educational opportunities and

the general well-being of children.

"Star and I are equally committed to that

cause," he says. "We find the Ambulatory

Campus, with its emphasis on health and

wellness through innovative services such

as the Student Health Awareness Center, a

perfect fit."

The opening of the Star and Barry Tobias

Ambulatory Campus combines convenient

access to healthcare providers with all

the wellness and educational services

community residents need for a lifetime of

better health.

"A hospital’s role today is to provide

community residents with tools to

enhance their wellness and keep them

out of the hospital," says Jim Karaman,

assistant vice president of Ambulatory

Services for CentraState. "The new

campus creates a destination people

can use on a daily basis as part of a

healthy lifestyle."
