The Community Memorial Foundation is excited to announce it will host a formal celebration event scheduled for Friday, June 14, 2024, at 6pm in Hamilton.

The celebratory affair will be held at the Hall of Presidents on the Colgate University campus.  The evening celebration will bring together organization leaders, medical staff, community members and supporters to highlight the accomplishment of the first phase of the hospital’s transformation project and share what’s to come for the organization in the second phase.  With construction set to resume in the immediate future, Phase II will include an expanded and relocated Radiology Department featuring a dedicated Women’s Imaging Suite, a state-of-the-art Laboratory Department, an expanded Rehabilitation Department, and a brand new Main Entrance for patients and visitors alike.

“We’re excited to partner with Colgate University as lead supporters of Community Memorial and host this event to celebrate our success and showcase the promising future of the hospital,” remarked Jeff Coakley, President and CEO. “A night of celebration for our hospital will bring together community members in a fun and formal setting. We look forward to welcoming guests.”

With dinner and dancing to music provided by the band Grand Central Station, the evening is sure to offer an exciting opportunity for attendees to socialize and gain deeper insights into the upcoming physical transformation of the hospital. “Celebrating the success of the completed inpatient wing and all-new Emergency Department while bringing our community members and supporters together is our collective initiative,” added Coakley. “Campaign Co-Chairs Mary Brundage and Dr. Bob Delorme will welcome guests to the evening of celebration, and we look forward to entering the next phase of our project.”
