Make a Difference | Support The Patrick Dempsey Center for Hope and Healing

The Patrick Dempsey Center for Hope and Healing provides education, support and wellness services to individuals and families affected by cancer. Most of these services are provided at no cost.

Mr. Dempsey has generously provided seed funding for this initiative, providing a core financial base from which the Patrick Dempsey Center can grow. We invite you to join Mr. Dempsey in this effort by supporting The Patrick Dempsey Center for Hope and Healing.
