Blueprint, Hamilton Medical Center’s signature gala held on Saturday, February 22nd at The Dalton Convention Center, was a remarkable success, raising $1.2 million for patient supportive services at Peeples Cancer Institute. The evening drew nearly 600 attendees, including community leaders, philanthropists, healthcare professionals, and cancer survivors, all committed to improving cancer care.
Guests enjoyed a gourmet dinner while participating in a live auction and raffle featuring exclusive items curated by members of the Blueprint Committee. The evening’s program was inspired by the heartfelt testimonies of cancer survivors who shared their personal journeys with the community leading up to the gala. These remarkable individuals were honored as the event’s Faces of Hope. The highlight of the evening was a moving speech given by Joe Remillard, local father, husband and business leader who is currently facing his own cancer battle. Joe shared his personal journey and the significant impact Peeples Cancer Institute has made on his life.
Funds raised from the Blueprint Gala will be instrumental in expanding the Institute’s patient supportive services. These services include but are not limited to psychological and financial counseling, nutritional guidance, yoga, acupuncture and massage therapy, all designed to improve the quality of life for patients and their families.

Elevating Excellence
For more than 50 years, our philanthropic partners have committed to improving the patient and family experience at Hamilton. As an independent, not-for-profit hospital, Hamilton is unique. Other healthcare systems are controlled by larger corporate entities, but Hamilton is supported by its local community. We’re fortunate to live in a smaller, thriving community where we can focus on personalized care. We want to know you as a patient and family. And your support matters to us. We rely on the generosity and compassion of individuals like you to help fund innovative programs, capital improvements and leading edge technologies that not only change lives, but saves lives.
2025 Sponsors
Blueprint would not be possible without the incredible efforts of our Blueprint committee members, vendors, guests, staff, volunteers and the generosity of our sponsors.
