    A Caregiving Conversation with Patrick Dempsey | Global Conference 2025

    Patrick Dempsey, Lisa Ling

    Founded by Patrick Dempsey following his mother's prolonged battle with ovarian cancer, the Dempsey Center provides free holistic care to cancer patients and their families across 32 states and four countries. The organization operates on a wraparound model that pairs medical treatment with services like nutrition counseling, yoga, and peer support while advocating for systemic insurance reforms to cover alternative therapies. Dempsey leverages his acting platform to expand the center's reach and fundraising efforts, aiming to reduce wait times for immediate intervention and establish a culture of caregiving that addresses the root causes of rising cancer rates.
