WARWICK, RI – May 19, 2005 – Today, Dr. Philip G.
Maddock and Dr. Steven C. Lane of the Maddock Center for
Radiation Oncology presented a $2,500 donation to the American
Cancer Society in support of the Society’s Relay For Life,
Warwick. Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian, Relay team captain; Patrick
McCaffery, event co-chair and Michael Vivian, Community Executive

an Open House the Maddock Center hosted for area physicians to
celebrate the practice’s name change from Radiation Oncology
Services of Rhode Island.
“We have long supported the local events and activities
of the American Cancer Society,” said Dr. Philip G. Maddock,
radiation oncologist and founder of the Maddock Center for Radiation
Oncology. “We strongly believe in the American Cancer Society’s
mission and both Dr. Lane and I felt that the celebration of our
practice’s name change was a timely occasion to support
next month’s local Relay For Life.”
“Dr. Maddock, Dr. Lane and their staff provide not only
exceptional medical care, but also the compassion, understanding
and empathy that are so important for their patients and those
who care for them.” Said Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian.
“On behalf of the residents of Warwick, I am delighted to
extend my congratulations to them as they celebrate their practice’s
name change, along with my heartfelt thanks for their generous
donation to the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life.”
“On behalf of the American Cancer Society’s Relay
For Life in Warwick, we are extremely grateful for this generous
contribution by the Maddock Center. The Relay For Life represents
a community that cares about cancer coming together as one. Certainly,
the Maddock Center is a true example of leadership and dedication
in the fight against cancer,” said Mr. McCaffrey.
The American Cancer Society’s annual Relay For Life is
a national event that will be held in 14 locations throughout
