The Dempsey Center is starting to see clients this week in their new location at Rock Row in Westbrook, Maine.

The Dempsey Center was on Main Street in South Portland and closed shop to move to the much bigger Rock Row Health Campus facility. They've just recently moved in and will slowly start seeing clients this week.

Is Patrick Dempsey going to be at the new facility to celebrate its opening?

They are hopeful, but Patrick has been very busy lately. He's in the new Dexter: Original Sin. Katelynn Davis, the Marketing and Communications Director for the Dempsey Center told me,

We are hopeful that Patrick will be here for the Open House, but we haven’t confirmed yet—with the LA fires and his work schedule, we haven’t been able to fully finalize his travel plans.

The grand opening is in early March and hopefully, Patrick can be there.

In 2008, Patrick Dempsey started the Dempsey Center to give free support services to people impacted by cancer. He was inspired to help because his mom was diagnosed with cancer and has since passed. In 2018, the Dempsey Center merged with the Cancer Community Center, expanding its existing space in Lewiston. Now they expand to Rock Row in Westbrook, Maine in their new health campus.
