The Atlantic General Hospital Foundation received a $25,000 donation from Reese Cropper III, president of IMG Insurance Management Group, Inc. toward its Campaign for the Future and the development of the new Regional Cancer Care Center.
The Campaign for the Future is co-chaired by long-time Atlantic General Hospital supporters and community champions, Michelle Fager and Jack Burbage.
The new cancer center will be named the John H. “Jack” Burbage, Jr. Regional Cancer Care Center in honor of Burbage’s personal and financial contributions to the hospital and the community.
“We’re extremely grateful for the unwavering support of Reese Cropper, III and the community,” Burbage said. “The new Regional Cancer Care Center is a much needed resource in our community and will provide convenient, quality access to care that Berlin and the region so deserves.”
The new 18,000-square-foot Regional Cancer Care Center, which is to be built on hospital-owned property at the corner of Route 113 and Old Ocean City Boulevard (Route 346) in Berlin, will provide one centrally-located, convenient facility for the care and treatment of individuals with cancer and blood disorders.
In addition to existing medical oncology and chemotherapy infusion services and integrative therapies, the new center will include radiation oncology, PET imaging, laboratory services, community education and support facilities, and telemedicine technology that will allow patients and their physicians to consult with other cancer care experts, preventing unnecessary travel for consultation and follow-up care for patients who may require more intensive cancer care services.
Construction is due to begin in July 2017, with completion in early 2018.
The funds raised during the $10 million Atlantic General Campaign for the Future will allow Atlantic General Hospital to complete $35 million in capital projects.
Among them is construction of the new cancer care center, completion of a women’s health center in West Ocean City, renovation of existing surgical facilities and expansion of emergency services within Atlantic General Hospital as well as improvements to inpatient care areas.
To date, the Foundation has already secured almost $3 million of the $10 million goal in pledges, commitments and grants.
Atlantic General Hospital has been providing quality health care to the residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties in Maryland, and Sussex County in Delaware, since May 1993.
Built by the commitment and generosity of a dedicated community, the hospital’s state-of-the-art facility in Berlin combines old-fashioned personal attention with the latest in technology and services.
It provides quality specialty care such as weight loss surgery, orthopedics, outpatient infusion and chemotherapy for individuals with cancer or blood/autoimmune disorders, and a comprehensive women’s diagnostic center.
