MORRISTOWN, NJ – The Women’s Association for Morristown Medical Center is pleased to announce that proceeds from its 21st Mansion in May 2025 Designer Showhouse and Gardens to be held at Wildfair in Chester Township, New Jersey will support the new Proton Therapy Center at Morristown Medical Center. Proton Therapy is an advanced cancer treatment that targets a patient’s tumor with sub-millimeter precision, while preserving healthy tissue.
The MEVION S250-FIT Proton Therapy System™ is scheduled to be installed in the Carol G. Simon Cancer Center at Morristown Medical Center in 2025, making Atlantic Health System the exclusive provider on the East Coast. Once in use, it will usher in a new era of cutting-edge radiation oncology service. The Proton Therapy Center at Morristown Medical Center will support all Atlantic Health System hospitals throughout northern and central New Jersey.
“Thanks to the profoundly generous support of our Women’s Association, we are able to bring the latest advancements in cancer treatment to our patients and throughout our communities,” said Trish O’Keefe, PhD, RN, President, Morristown Medical Center. “To have the Mansion in May 2025 proceeds benefit our new Proton Therapy Center will truly be life-changing for countless people for decades to come – and we are deeply and forever grateful.”
Mansion in May is the signature fundraiser for WAMMC, generating nearly $14 million since its inception in 1974 for Morristown Medical Center. Wildfair will join the list of majestic estates hosting Mansion in May and will be open to the public from May 1 to May 31, 2025.
