Inspired by his mother’s courage to fight and win her battle with ovarian cancer, The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing was unveiled as the actor himself looked on. The center, part of the Central Maine Medical Center, will open March 31.
Located in Dempsey’s hometown, Lewiston, Maine, he provided a seed-grant to fund the center and his sister Mary, an employee of the parent medical center will run the cancer facility. Dempsey will also play a critical part in an education campaign for the center.
