GBMC's proposed patient center
Cancer Center
Fueled by the overwhelming generosity of our community, The Promise Project will bring two historic advancements to GBMC—a new Inpatient Facility and The Sandra R. Berman Pavilion, the new home of The Sandra and Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute at GBMC. These initiatives will not only modernize GBMC’s facilities but extend our promise for generations to come.

Inpatient Facility

This new 3-story addition to the main hospital will feature two acute care units containing 60 patient rooms. The new patient rooms are twice the size and feature advanced technology that will benefit patients, families, and medical teams.

The Promise I Make ...

“ To make sure I adhere to GBMC’s vision, I write down at least one accomplishment or moment of joy that I experienced during the workday. That helps me remember that even though the accomplishment or moment may have been small, it was impactful for our patients. ”
