CMMC Fall Classic date set at Martindale

Maine native Patrick Dempsey, star of the ABC hit series “Grey’s Anatomy,” has shared that his awakening to the realities of cancer began in 1997 when his mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Today she is living cancer free and enjoying an active, healthy life, but the experience led Dempsey to conclude that he wanted to make a difference by giving back to the community that helped his mother through her journey with cancer. With the actor’s financial support and personal commitment, CMMC created the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing, a program that has become an integral part of cancer care at the Central Maine Comprehensive Cancer Center and affiliated cancer clinics at Bridgton and Rumford hospitals. The Patrick Dempsey Center provides support, education, and health promotion for those touched by cancer.
