At UNC Health Southeastern’s Gibson Cancer Center, hope grows. Every step we take, every treatment, every word of comfort, every breakthrough begins with the unshakable belief that healing is possible.

Deeply connected to our community, Gibson Cancer Center delivers exceptional, life-affirming care in a welcoming setting where healing and support thrive. With a long-standing tradition of compassion and excellence, we offer comprehensive cancer services cultivated to meet the needs of patients and families, right here at home.

Join us in planting the seeds of tomorrow through our Hope Starts Here campaign. With your support, we’re not just fighting cancer, we’re growing strength, courage, and renewal for every patient who walks through our doors.

Your generosity supports a place where healing begins, and lives are transformed. Together, we can honor determination and nurture hope.

Together, we create a place where healing begins and continues.
Together, we are Here for you. Here for Good.

Help us grow our Tree. Help us build our Path.
Because Hope Starts Here with you.

The Tree of Hope

Standing tall in the lobby, the Tree of Hope will be a symbol of the lives touched and the strength of our community. Each leaf added to the tree honors a donor, patient, or loved one reflecting the enduring power of hope that connects us all.

More details coming soon.

The Path to Hope

Winding around our entrance grounds, the Path to Hope will be paved with tributes to the journeys of resilience and recovery. Every engraved brick marks a step toward healing, a reminder that no one walks this path alone. We are with you.
