Happy Holidays and Thank you!!

The holiday season is a great time to reflect on our accomplishments and our on-going challenges. 2022 has seen the GBMC HealthCare System rise to the occasion once again in serving our community with health, healing, and hope. Workforce shortages and the upward inflationary spiral of the cost of almost every input to the delivery of healthcare have placed significant stress on our system, but we continue to work on the promise of our vision to be the community-based system of care that can deliver to every patient, every time, the care that we would want for our own loved ones. 

Our clinicians, support staff and volunteers have led us through the toughest of times, and I am grateful to them. Their dedication and hard work in taking care of our patients is remarkable. I wish you all a peaceful and joyful holiday season. 

To the patients and their families who put their trust in us every day – thank you for making GBMC your healthcare partner. 

To our donors for their generosity – thank you for the countless initiatives you have funded and for believing that our region deserves specialized services and state-of-the-art technology even when health insurance resources are not there to cover it. 

Together, once again, we have advanced the quality of healthcare in our community, and we are excited to do even more in 2023 to further the health and wellness of our neighbors.

Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season and a prosperous 2023!

Congratulations!!

  1. Dr. Celano is well deserving of the accolades and responsibilities in his career. Most physicians work hard in their careers, and it shows. Dr. Celano has a special calling on his life to help his patients navigate their cancer journeys; that is his gift.
