Patrick Dempsey in Maine: visit to Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital, In Good Taste & Drive Fore Kids

Last week, Patrick Dempsey went back to Maine for a series of events with the Dempsey Center.

On Wednesday (19/06), he was first spotted at a local restaurant in Portland.

Later that day, he visited the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital where he met young patients and staff who were delighted to see him.

“We are incredibly grateful to Patrick Dempsey for taking the time to get to know our families and care team here at the MaineHealth Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital,” said Dr. Mary Ottolini, The George W. Hallett, MD, Chair of Pediatrics at MaineHealth. “While Patrick may have only played a doctor on TV, his visit has certainly been healing for those in the hospital today.”

All photos and videos of Patrick’s visit are available here.

The next day (20/06), he attended the annual the In Good Taste fundraiser, the annual event organised by the Dempsey Center in Scarborough. It is “a unique culinary event at the intersection of Chopped and Inside the Actors Studio. Guests will be guided through a four-course gastronomic delight curated by prominent and award-winning chefs. Featuring an interview between Patrick Dempsey and a current Dempsey Center client utilizing nutrition program services, this innovative evening will bring us together, ’round the proverbial dinner table, to help make life better for people impacted by cancer.”

All photos and videos of the event are available here.

During the weekend (21-23/06), he participated in the second annual Drive Fore Kids Golf Tournament at Falmouth Country Club. This year, the Dempsey Center was one of the co-beneficiaries alongside the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. Reports say that the “tournament raised $100,000 for both the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital, and the Dempsey Center.”
