Stomach issues sent 26-year-old Deylon Quarles to the emergency room. He expected a quick remedy and a return to normal life. Instead, testing at the new Bon Secours Harbour View Medical Center revealed a shocking colon cancer diagnosis. Your gift to the hospital is part of the reason Deylon is here today.

“From the moment I walked in, they made me feel settled and at ease,” Deylon says. “Everybody — the doctors, nurses, and even the people delivering meals — they took really good care of me.”

Thanks to your generosity, the new 98,000-square-foot Harbour View Medical Center opened in 2025. It brings state-of-the-art technology, expanded surgical services and additional inpatient beds to the community.

“To anyone wondering if their gift matters, it absolutely does,” Deylon says. “The technology, the facility, the team. They all work together and make every dollar matter. I’m here today because of it.”

After his startling diagnosis, Deylon underwent surgery and chemotherapy. Just before Christmas, he rang the bell to mark the end of treatment. His most recent colonoscopy showed all was clear.

“I am extremely grateful,” he says. “Going through something that life-altering, the people around you make all the difference. I truly felt like God allowed me to be in your care.”

Deylon credits both the advanced facility and the compassionate team for his recovery. Modern equipment and expanded services were critical to his diagnosis. But it was the people who brought everything together, proving how donor support directly impacts real lives.
