BERLIN — The Atlantic General Hospital’s Junior Auxiliary Group (JAG) presented a $25,000 check to Atlantic General Hospital President and CEO Michael Franklin at its recent annual luncheon meeting as a pledge toward the hospital’s Campaign for the Future, a $10 million philanthropic community support initiative.
The campaign will allow Atlantic General Hospital to complete $35 million in capital projects planned under the organization’s 2020 Vision five-year strategic plan. Among them is construction of the new 18,000-square-foot full service John H. “Jack” Burbage, Jr. Regional 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.
