Patrick Dempsey may not be a real doctor, but that isn’t stopping him from helping save lives!

Yesterday, the Grey’s Anatomy star, 42, gave the Central Maine Medical Center — in his hometown of Lewiston — $250,000 for a spanking new cancer center.

The CMMC has special meaning for Dr. McDreamy: Not only was he born in the hospital, but his mom, Amanda, has been treated there twice for ovarian cancer, which is now in remission.

Dubbed The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing, the facility opens March 31. Oh, and one more heartwarming note: the center will be managed by Patrick’s sister, Mary Dempsey!
